Byzantine Hand Painted Icon of Saint Leonidas of Athens.
Saint Leonidas was born in the 2nd century and served as Bishop of Athens. He was active mainly in the region of Epidaurus, where there is a temple built in his honor.
According to many, Saint Leonidas martyred in 250 AD together with seven other women, but this has not been proven.
