Icon of the Holy Great Martyr Barbara of Heliopolis
The holy and glorious Great-martyr Barbara of Heliopolis lived during the reign of the impious tyrant Maximian (286-305). Her feast day is commemorated by the church December 4. Many pious Orthodox Christians are in the habit of chanting the troparion of St. Barbara each day, recalling the Savior's promise to her that those who remembered her and her sufferings would be preserved from a sudden, unexpected death, and would not depart this life without benefit of the Holy Mysteries of Christ.
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.
