The daughter of Praepextatus and Fausta, Saint Anastasia was brought up by her mother in the Faith of Christ. Briefly married, Saint Anastasia was widowed and thereafter went about secretly to the dwellings of the poor and the prisons to visit the Martyrs of Christ, bringing whatever was needed for their daily subsistence.

Because Saint Anastasia delivered so many of her beneficiaries from the ill effects of spells, potions and poisons, she has received the name "Deliverer from Potions". The blessed Saint was martyred by fire as a Witness of Christ during the Great Persecution of the Emperor Diocletian in the year 290 AD.
She suffered terrible tortures and humiliations for the sake of Christ, never once yielding to the torments of the pagans. She refused to renounce her faith, boldly clinging to God for deliverance. After many trials, including scourging, cutting out of her tongue, pulling out of her teeth and nails, whipping, and beating, she was beheaded.

Saint Anastasia the Roman is commemorated on October 29.

Icon Styles

Depending on the size and theme, Holy Icons are available in both Recessed and Level styles.

RECESSED

The groove in our recessed icons adds depth to the Iconography, making the icon even more dramatic and impressive. In order to keep the relative proportions, the depth of the groove changes with the size of the Holy Icon.

LEVEL

Level icons allow the Iconography to retain its boldness even in smaller sizes. As such most of our level icons have smaller dimensions.

Backside Details

Backside details vary with icon size and serve to ensure that your Holy Icon will stand the test of time. 

Saint Athanasios the Great, Full Stature - Athonite

Solid wooden icons of larger dimensions are prone to bending and damaging as time passes. Fortunately, our Holy Icons are supported by two additional, horizontal wooden protective panels on the backside. These panels bolster the icon and allow it to sustain its shape, ensuring that your Holy Icon will remain in its original, pristine condition as it is passed down from generation to generation.

Icons of smaller dimensions are naturally sustainable over time, and experience less structural stress. As such, you will find that the backside of smaller Holy Icons is flat and proportional to their shape.
