Agia Anastasia The Apothecary – Sandblasting – Mount Athos

Description

A special handiwork of an Agiorite monk. The image of the Saint with golden painted sand from the shores of the Athonian State.

He was born and raised in Rome at the end of the 3rd century AD. She was the daughter of a noble family. Her father was Praetextatos, a powerful preacher in the Roman era and a pagan. Flavia’s mother was a Christian.

Anastasia was baptized a Christian and raised by her mother. He even led her to the Christian teacher Chrysogonos, who after her mother’s death fully took over her teaching. The sudden death of her husband unleashed all of Anastasia’s potential.
Thus she devoted all her wealth, time, activity and love to visiting imprisoned Christians in prisons, strengthening and encouraging them, so that they would not cower in the face of martyrdom. She became the coach of many martyrs who owe their glorious martyrdom to Anastasia’s encouragement and support.

In her work, this was not limited only to Rome, but extended her activity as far as the East, as far as Nicomedia in Asia Minor, after passing through Illyria and Macedonia, where she operated mainly in the city of Thessaloniki.

As the picture is handmade and the wood is processed by hand, there may be slight variations in the wood.
