Byzantine Hand Painted Icon of Saints Nicholas and George.
Saint Nicholas was born in Patara in Lycia and at a young age, after losing his family, he became the heir to a property which he donated to poor and suffering people. He was dedicated in the ascetic life and was elected archbishop of Myron, but was imprisoned for his faith as required by Diocletian's decree.
Saint George came from Cappadocia and was a member of the Roman Army. He showed great boldness and courage and for this, he gained the attention of the Emperor Diocletian, but he could not escape the persecutions that Christians faced in those years. Saint George did not deny his faith and was sentenced to beheading.
