Saint Irene Chrysovalantou

The Righteous Wonderworker Abbess

Born to a noble family of Cappadocia in the ninth century, Irene travelled to Constantinople as a possible bride for the emperor, but chose instead to enter the Convent of Chrysovalantou, where she later became abbess. She was known for long vigils, humility and the gift of discernment, and many miracles are attributed to her prayers. Much loved in Greece and the Greek diaspora, she is commemorated on 28 July. In this Silver Relief the icon is presented in gold-plated silver relief on a panel.

This is an authentic Silver Plated artwork with Gold details, crafted according to Byzantine technique and style. The theme is reproduced using Advanced Museum Standards Technique.

Once the wood panel is cut to the desired dimensions, our skilled craftsmen meticulously apply the printed theme on the prepared surface and then the Silver Plating, resulting to an exquisite work of art.

At the back of the icon, a mounting point is installed, accompanied by our Certificate of Authenticity and Quality. At the small sized icons a stand is also available. All of our artworks bear the studio’s distinctive title and logo.

A thorough quality inspection takes place before we secure the package with durable protective materials to ensure safe delivery.

Each icon is made to order. Once your order is ready to ship, you will receive the retail receipt and the tracking information via email.
