Saint Christina was from Tyre in Syria, the
daughter of a pagan named Urban. Enlightened in her heart to believe in Christ,
she broke her father’s idols, made of gold and silver, and distributed the
pieces to the poor. When her father learned this, he punished her ruthlessly,
then cast her into prison. The rulers subjected her to imprisonments, hunger,
torments, the cutting off of her breasts and tongue, and finally impalement, in
the year 200, during the reign of the Emperor Septimius Severus.
The icon reproductions are created by iconographer monks of
various Greek Orthodox monasteries in Greece and all images are approved
replications by the Greek Orthodox Church. As icons are considered to be
the Gospel in image, these images are accurate and true Orthodox renderings,
not second-hand interpretations. The icon images are mounted on solid
wood and protected from tarnish with a varnish finish that seals in colors and
creates a shiny luster.
