Icon with water-gilding on natural linden wood. The wood has been prepared in heat and gilded with gold leaf 24K, in accordance with traditional Byzantine techniques. The icon has been painted with egg-tempera paints for best performance and endurance of colors used. The colors were chosen based on studies and analyses of older icons by renowned iconographers, after ARTIS had first conducted conservation treatments on them.
Saint Mary Magdalene was born in Magdala of Galilee. When she first heard about Christ, she went to Him and He liberated her from seven demons that had tortured her for many years, and so she became His disciple. Indeed, it was she who, after the Lord’s Resurrection, came first to the tomb with fragrances, and to whom the angels dressed in white announced the Resurrection of Christ. Afterwards, she went to Ephesus, to Saint John the Theologian, where she died. Her holy relics are today found at various Monasteries of Mount Athos. Her memory is celebrated by the Church on the 22nd of July.
