St. Theodora was born in Vanatori-Neamt in Romania. In her youth, she was married off against her will. Being childless, both she and her husband decide to embrace monasticism, he withdrawing to Poiana Mărului monastery under the name Elfterie, and she to Vărzărești. Foreign invasions prompt her to retreat into the Buzau Mountains, where she lived for 10 years. From here she went firstly to Neamt Monastery, where she was guided towards Sihăstria hermitage, in the Neamț Mountains. With the guidance of Sihăstria's abbot, and with the blessing of the hermitage's egumen, she ascended the mountains to become an anchorite in the Sihla wilderness. Theodora initially lived in a cottage in a rocky part of Sihla, left to her by an elderly monk. After her death, the body of the St. Theodora remained in the cave in which she had spent the greater part of her hermitage. Her feast day is on August 7.

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.
