Saint
Pelagia was from Tarsus of Cilicia and contested in
martyrdom under Diocletian, in 284: she was cast into a bull fashioned of
bronze, which had been heated with fire.
Saint
Anastasia 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.
