Saint Mary of Egypt - Byzantine Icon

[Model: BYZ_st-9444]

Handmade Byzantine Icon of Saint Mary of Egypt.

Saint Mary of Egypt lived from a young age in Alexandria, Egypt as a prostitute, without knowing about the Gospel and the Christian faith. Once, when in Jerusalem as she lived her sinful life, she met a crowd celebrating the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.


There, Saint Mary experienced a miracle as a force did not let her pass into the Temple. When she looked up she saw the image of the Virgin Mary and wept hard for her past. She repented of her sins and decided to retire to the desert to become an ascetic.


She remained in the desert for 47 years without clothing or food until her death.


Troparion


The image of God was truly preserved in you, O mother,

For you took up the Cross and followed Christ.

By so doing, you taught us to disregard the flesh, for it passes away;

But to care instead for the soul, since it is immortal.

Therefore your spirit, O holy Mother Mary, rejoices with the Angels.


The Icon of Saint Mary of Egypt 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.
