Saint Theodore who was from Amasia of Pontus, contested during the reign of
Maximian (286-305). He was called Tyro, from the Latin Tim, because he was a
newly enlisted recruit. When it Was reported that he was a Christian, he boldly
confessed Christ; the ruler, hoping that he would repent, gave him time to
consider the matter more completely and then give answer. Theodore gave answer
by setting fire to the temple of Cybele, the "mother of the gods,"
and for this he suffered a martyr’s death by fire.
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.
