Saint Alexandra icon - Holy Martyr Queen
Reproduction of the work of Nikolai Bodarevsky (1850–1921)
This beautiful icon depicts Saint Alexandra the Queen, one of the most honored early Christian martyrs, rendered here as a faithful reproduction of the work of the renowned Russian artist Nikolai Bodarevsky (1850–1921). Known for his refined academic style and deep spiritual sensitivity, Bodarevsky captured in this image the noble dignity, inner purity, and serene courage that define the holy martyr.
Saint Alexandra, the wife of Emperor Diocletian, embraced the Christian faith during a time of fierce persecution. Moved by the steadfastness and holiness of the martyrs, she openly confessed Christ as the true God. For this courageous confession, she was condemned to death. Her martyrdom stands as a radiant witness to the triumph of faith over fear, and of divine truth over earthly power.
In this icon, Queen Alexandra is portrayed with a gentle and noble expression, symbolizing her spiritual strength and her willingness to suffer for Christ. The soft, luminous palette—characteristic of Bodarevsky’s art—emphasizes her inner grace and heavenly beauty. The regal garments, delicate features, and prayerful composure invite the viewer into a deeper contemplation of her holy life.
This icon is treasured by the faithful as a reminder of unwavering courage, repentance, and the victory of faith. It inspires believers to remain steadfast in righteousness, to speak truth with humility, and to offer their lives to God with the same devotion as the holy martyr.
May the intercession of Saint Alexandra the Queen strengthen all who venerate this sacred image and lead them to a deeper love for Christ.
