Handmade Byzantine Icon of Saint Galina.
Saint Galina was one of the seven holy women who, together with Saint Leonidas, were arrested in Troizinia in the Peloponnese and presented before the ruler of Corinth. For their faith they were condemned to martyrdom and to be exterminated they were thrown into the sea, after they were first tied to stones.
Kontakion (Tone 4)
As you contested bravely in Corinth, O wise martyrs,
You appeared as a six–branched radiant lamp.
Illumining the way for Christ’s faithful by the grace that was given you!
