Hand painted wood icon of St. Theodora, the Empress. Miniature measuring 7x10 cm. Original artwork.
The Holy Empress Theodora, Restorer of Orthodoxy (9th century), was a pious and virtuous woman, known for having governed the realm for fifteen years after the death of her iconoclast husband Theophilus (829-842). Saint Theodora convened a Synod, at which the iconoclasts were anathematized, and the veneration of icons was reinstated. Her feast day is February 11, and the Holy Empress is also commemorated on the Sunday of Orthodoxy, the first Sunday of the Great Lent.
