Saint Penelope - Lithography on Wood

This fine oval icon of Saint Penelope is depicted in accordance to the tradition of Orthodox iconography. A lithograph copy is placed on artificial wood, whose arched top adds a touch of elegance.
Saint Penelope is one of the 40 Holy Virgins who lived in Adrianople during the time of Emperor Licinius. The local ruler, knowing that they were Christians, arrested them and forced them to worship pagan statues. They resisted and endured horrific torture. The memory of Saint Theano is commemorated every year on September 1st.
