This Saint, who was from Rome, was a most comely,
wealthy, and virtuous maiden, the daughter of Praepextatus and Fausta. It was
her mother who instructed her in the Faith of Christ. The Saint was joined to a
man named Publius Patricius, who was prodigal in life and impious in
disposition, but she was widowed after a short time. Henceforth, she went about
secretly to the dwellings of the poor and the prisons where the Martyrs of
Christ were, and brought them whatever was needed for their daily subsistence.
She washed their wounds and loosed them from their fetters, and consoled them
in their anguish. Also, because the Saint, through her intercessions, has
healed many from the ill effects of spells, potions, poisons, and other harmful
substances, she has received the name "Deliverer from Potions." Since
the fame of her deeds had spread about, she was arrested by Diocletians
minions, and after enduring many torments she was put to death by fire in the
year 290
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.
