This hand-painted Orthodox icon on wood by Ana Drăgan represents Saint Juliana of Nicomedia, whose feast day is celebrated on December 21 by the Ortodox Church and February 16 by the Roman-Catholic Church.
The Holy Virgin Martyr Juliana of Nicomedia was the daughter of Africanus, a famous pagan, who, after secretly accepting baptism as a Christian, refused marriage to a pagan senator. After rejecting the urging of her father and betrothed to accept marriage, she remained firm in her faith and was imprisoned, severely beaten, and then finally beheaded during the reign of Emperor Maximianus. She is remembered on December 21 (orthodox Church) and February 16 (Roman-Catholic Church).
Saint Juliana is also honoured by Western Christians, by those in Italy and especially by those in the Netherlands.
