Saint Theodosia Greek Orthodox Icon
High quality byzantine Orthodox handmade icons. Made in
Greece and constructed in the traditional Orthodox manner.
Iconographer: Sister Siippi
The holy Virgin Martyr Theodosia was born in Tyre
of Phoenicia. At the age of eighteen she was seized in Caesarea of Palestine
during a persecution and was brought before Urban the ruler. Because she
refused to offer sacrifice to the idols, her sides and breasts were mercilessly
scraped even to the inward parts and bones. She endured this in silence with
astonishing courage. When Urban again asked her to sacrifice, she mocked him,
and after being tormented even more horribly than before, she was cast into the
sea in the year 308.
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.
