Orthodox icon of Saint Vasilissa of Nicomedia on thick plywood 20mm, which does not sting and keeps its shape over time. Preparation with acrylic stucco and have been used acrylic colors. It has been covered with varnish to keep the colors undiluted in time and humidity. Hanging clip included on the back of the icon.
St. Vasilissa suffered under the emperor Diocletian. The governor of Nicomedia Alexander gave orders to arrest the 9 year old Vasilissa and force her to renounce Christ. But the young girl refused and she was subjected to protracted and intense torture. Through the grace of God, the holy martyr remained alive and unharmed. This was evident as a manifestation of the power of God and it so upset the governor Alexander, that he came to believe in Christ and confessed himself a Christian. Alexander was baptized later by Bishop Anthimus, lived for a short while in deep repentance, and then died peacefully. A short time after the death of Alexander, St. Vasilissa died also peacefully. Her feast day is on September 3.

Care Instructions
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.
