Byzantine Hand Painted Icon of Saint Constantine.
Saint Constantine was a Roman Emperor and an "isapostolos" (meaning "an equal to the Apostles"), son of Emperor Flavius Valerius Constantius and Saint Helen, who ruled from 306 to 337 AD. With his reforms, he strengthened Christianity and abolished persecutions from the empire.
In 337 AD after a serious illness, Constantine traveled to Bithynia for hot baths. While praying in the Church of Lucian the Apostle he felt his death.
He died later the same year and was buried in the Church of the Holy Apostles in Constantinople.

Today, Constantine with his mother Helen present the Cross, the most precious wood. It shames unbelievers. It is a weapon of faithful kings against their adversaries. A great sign has come forth for us which is awesome in battle.
Hand-Painted Icons occupy a valuable place in ecclesiastical art because, beyond their obvious artistic value, a hand-painted icon unites man with the holiness of the depicted person.
For the Hand-Painted Icon of Saint Constantine, our experienced painters use traditional techniques and high-quality materials that offer excellent depiction and durability over time.
