Wood icon, "Saint martyr Justin the Philosopher", Hand painted, 20x26 cm

Hand painted wood icon, representing martyr Justin the Philosopher.
The holy, glorious, right-victorious martyr Justin the Philosopher (also Justin Martyr) was one of the earliest apologists for the Christian faith. A convert to Christianity, he produced a number of works during the middle of the second century, amongst them two Apologies addressed to the Roman emperors, defending and explaining Christianity as the true philosophy. The power of his arguments was to earn him his martyrdom. His feast day is celebrated on June 1.
