Byzantine Hand Painted Icon of Saint Polyxene.
Saint Polyxene came from Spain. Because of her beauty, she was kidnapped by a man and taken to Patras, where she turned to the Christians for protection.
She was baptized by Saint Andrew and together with her sister, Saint Xanthippe, dedicated herself to a great Christian work until the end of her life.
Troparion of Saint Xanthippe and Polyxene
You received the light of the divine Faith, / and your works shone with piety, O divinely-inspired Polyxénē; / you glorified Christ in your life / as well as by your blameless actions; / therefore intercede with the Lord Who glorified you, to grant us great mercy.
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 Polyxene, our experienced painters use traditional techniques and high-quality materials that offer excellent depiction and durability over time.
All our Hand-Painted Icons are painted with egg tempera, while you can choose the size of the icon, the decoration of the background, the language of the inscriptions as well as the type of wood you wish to use.
