Wooden Icon of the Holy Nine Martyrs of Cyzicus with Saints Alexei of Moscow and Venerable Evdokia
This wooden Orthodox icon depicts the Holy Nine Martyrs of Cyzicus—Theognes, Rufus, Antipater, Theostichus, Artemas, Magnus, Theodotus, Thaumasius, and Philemon—brave witnesses of Christ who suffered martyrdom around 290 AD for their unwavering faith.
The holy martyrs lived in the city of Cyzicus and boldly confessed Christ before pagan authorities, openly denouncing idolatry and moral corruption. For their fearless testimony, they were arrested, subjected to trials and tortures, and finally crowned with martyrdom. Their unity in confession and endurance made them powerful intercessors for the Church, especially invoked in times of illness, persecution, and spiritual trial.
In the margins of the icon are depicted Saint Alexei, Metropolitan of Moscow, a great hierarch and miracle-worker, and Venerable Evdokia, a model of repentance and ascetic devotion. Their presence strengthens the spiritual message of the icon, uniting martyrdom, pastoral wisdom, and monastic holiness within one sacred image.
The Holy Nine Martyrs of Cyzicus are especially prayed to for:
- healing from illnesses and epidemics
- strengthening of faith and courage
- unity and protection of the Church
- deliverance from fear and despair
Crafted as a wooden icon, this sacred image combines traditional Orthodox iconography with natural materials, making it well suited for a home icon corner, prayer space, or as a meaningful spiritual gift.
