Byzantine Hand Painted Icon of Saint Ifigeneia.
Saint Ifigeneia was born in Tokat in Pontus to idolater parents who were baptized Christians by Apostle Andrew. During the reign of Nero, the Christians were expelled and the family of Saint Ifigeneia, together with her, was imprisoned and suffered horrible tortures. Specifically, Saint Iphigenia, who was only fifteen years old, was amputated.
Responsible for her torture was the governor Mark who regretted his actions but was obliged to kill her. Shortly before Saint Ifigeneia died, Mark asked her for forgiveness, which he received.
Embracing Christianity, Mark preached God's truth throughout Pontus.
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 Ifigeneia, 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.
