This icon of Saint Dymphna is silkscreen printed on gessoed cotton canvas, mounted on a solid carved wood board, and handmade in Greece. The halo, inscriptions, and ornamental details are hand-painted, and gold leaf is applied by hand to the background. The panel is finished with a varnish and arrives with a certificate of authenticity, gift-ready for a home icon corner.
Iconography and Symbolism
This icon tells the story of St.Dymphna’s royal background (she is the daughter of an Irish king), her deep faith and her ultimate sacrifice. The wooden cross in her righ hand means that she is a “martyr”- someone who died for their Christian faith. Her left hand is raised with the palm facing out, showing an open heart.
