St Sigfrid was a missionary-bishop in Scandinavia during the first half of the 11th century. He most likely arrived in Sweden soon after the year 1000 and conducted extensive missions in Gotaland and Svealand. For some years after 1014, following his return to England, Sigfrid was based in Trondheim, Norway. While in Norway, Sigfrid continued to participate in the Christianization of Sweden , to which he devoted the remainder of his life. According to Swedish and Icelandic tradition, he retired to Varend. St Sigfrid later died in Vaxjo on an unknown date. His feast day is on February 15 and is the patron saint of Sweden.

My handpainted icons are made from natural materials that constantly interact with their environment. These above materials are sensitive to extreme light, heat and humidity.
Handling the icons should also be done cautiously; oils from our hands can stain their shiny surface. Dust can softly be removed with a pure white cloth.
Following the above simple instructions will guarantee that your icon will age gracefully through time and will be enjoyed by the generations to come.
