Iconography and Symbolism
The Saint Anastasia the Deliverer from Potions Icon (Greek: Ἁγία Ἀναστασία ἡ Φαρμακολύτρια) depicts the Great Martyr known for her power to heal and protect from poisons, illness, and spiritual harm. Her title “Deliverer from Potions” reflects her role as a healer who frees people from both physical toxins and harmful influences.

In iconography, she is often shown holding a cross and a small vessel or medicine container, symbolizing her healing ministry and martyrdom. She lived in the 3rd century and secretly cared for imprisoned Christians, bringing them medicine and comfort. Despite persecution, she remained faithful to Christ and became a powerful intercessor for the suffering.

Her calm and compassionate expression reflects mercy and strength. The gold background symbolizes divine healing and the light of God’s grace working through her.
