Wood icon, "St. Paula the Virgin", miniature, 7x10cm

Hand painted wood icon of Saint Paula the Virgin (June 3rd). Miniature measuring 7x10 cm. Original artwork.
Holy Virgin Paula witnessed the contest of the holy martyrs. She had dedicated herself to the service of those suffering for Christ. She provided food to Christian prisoners, washed their wounds, brought medications, and also buried the bodies of martyrs.
After the death of Saint Lucillian and the four young men, she returned to Nicomedia and continued with her holy service. The holy virgin was arrested and cast into a furnace, but by the power of God she remained unharmed. Then they sent her off to Byzantium, where the holy martyr was beheaded.
