St Phoebe the Deaconess from Corinth, a female saint, one of the women that had played a major role in the early Christian times. Copper gold is covering the halo and the border of the icon-something that has already given the icon its characteristic patina, that is an antique look that will make the artefact even more beautiful. The Greek name of the saint -- I Phivi i diakonissa-- is written with white egg tempera on her right and left side with byzantine characters Finally the icon comes tenderly protected in its individual handmade felt bag, together with some instructions how to care for it, a little sachet of herbs from our garden in Crete -and our typical icon favors - Perfect for a personal gift.
