Holy Martyr Larisa of Gothia. Wooden orthodox icon.
Holy Martyr Larissa of Gotthia lived in the third quarter of the 4th century, during the reign of Emperor Gratian. These were times of cruel persecution and harassment of Christians, and many innocent souls were destroyed by pagan rulers. Fearing death, Christians gathered secretly in inconspicuous places, performed divine services and offered prayers to the Lord, but even there the pagan persecutors found them and subjected them to terrible torture and execution, destroying and burning sanctuaries.
In Gotthia at that time, King Jungerich, a fierce pagan, ruled. He cruelly persecuted Christians and exterminated them, destroying churches. Once he ordered a Christian church to be locked and set on fire during a service. Holy Martyr Larissa was a Christian from among the followers of Christ who were burned alive during a service in a prayer house. 308 people died in the fire, of whom 21 are known by their names, including Martyr Larissa. The widow of another Goth king, Alla, with her daughter Duklida, collected the remains of the holy martyrs and transported them to Syria, from where she returned to her homeland, where after some time she was stoned and died a martyr's death with her son Agathon. The relics of the holy martyrs remained with Duklida, who came to Cyzicus (in Crimea) and donated part of the relics for the consecration of the church. Almost no information has been preserved about the holy martyr Larissa herself. It is only assumed that Saint Larissa left the world as a virgin, and therefore she is often depicted on icons with hair falling from under her headdress.
The icon is made by printing on a wooden board. Paints are mineral, do not fade with time. The thickness of the board is 2 cm. The board is covered with primer by hand. The image is covered with wax. Each icon has a metal mount on the back side so that you can hang the icon on the wall.
You can buy the icon in three sizes:
- 13 х 9 centimeters (5,1 x 3,5 inches)
- 19 х 14 centimeters (7,5 x 5,5 inches)
- 26 х 19 centimeters (10,2 x 7,5 inches)
Our icons are made by Orthodox craftsmen. You can read more about the technology here.
We hope it will be a good gift for you and your loved ones.
