Saint Aquila the Apostle - Byzantine Icon

[Model: BYZ_st-7197]

Handmade Byzantine Icon of Saint Aquila the Apostle.

Saint Aquila the Apostole lived, together with his wife Priscilla, in Rome. The decree of Claudius, which expelled all Jews from Rome, forced them to settle in Corinth, where they met the Apostle Paul after his missionary tour of Athens.

They were baptised by Apostle Paul and  decided to follow him in his great work of preaching the Gospel. Years passed and the blessed couple, Saint Aquila the Apostle and Priscilla, returned to Rome, but Aquila soon left for missionary work in Asia. Priscilla followed him faithfully.

Their Christian activity angered their opponents, who finally beheaded them.


Troparion of Saint Aquila the Apostle 

As a disciple and companion of Paul / you received in your soul the grace of preaching. / You shone in the night of error and struggled for the Lord’s glory. / Sacred minister of the Savior, Aquila, we all acclaim you.


The Icon of Saint Aquila the Apostle is an exact copy of Byzantine art and is created by experienced craftsmen using the method of gold printing where hagiographic leaves of 22 karat gold are applied in detail to decorate the background.

During the final processing, the icon is painted with dark red color around the perimeter and polished with a special varnish to maintain its shine.

It is offered in level or recessed wooden surface and is suitable for wall mounting.
