According to the synaxarists, Ariadne was a slave of the lord Tertullus, one of the most powerful of the city of Promisea. She had converted to Christianity, but when her master found out, he pressured her to return to idolatry. She insisted on her faith and challenged Tertullus, when she refused to sacrifice to idols. Then they tortured her severely and stabbed her in the flesh. She was temporarily released but Tertullus continued to pursue her. To protect herself from her pursuers, she approached a stone and prayed. God heard her prayer and the stone opened. In there, Ariadne, thanking God, surrendered her spirit. At the same time, her pursuers were killed by Angels, who speared them on horses with their spears. Her feast day is on September 18.

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.
