St Barbara | Large XLG Silver and Gold foiled icon on wood | Orthodox - Catholic icon | Size: 15 7/8" x 13"

A fabulous, traditional Russian-Orthodox Byzantine icon in canonical iconographic style. Image of the icon is made in high-quality polygraphic with double layers of metallographic printing. It is pasted to the wood or plywood plate basis.

St. Barbara lived in the 4th century and was brought up as a heathen. She was denounced to the pagan authorities by her father himself when he learned she had converted to Christianity, and was beheaded by her father when she refused to recant. These saint icons depict the martyr and patron saint of miners and artillerymen. For that reason she is popular in many cultures.

The icon was consecrated by the provost of the Russian Orthodox church in Moscow.
This is a religious object, please, treat it carefully and in a worthy manner
