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 Tatiana was born in Rome. She had the ecclesiastical office of deaconess, and the hymnology of the Church presents her as a disciple of the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul. She served the Christian community with a spirit of self-renunciation and preached the Gospel of the Lord. Tatiana was arrested because she preached faith in Christ. She was brought before the emperor, who led her into a pagan temple. There, through fervent prayer to Christ, the Saint had the idols of the pagan gods shaken from their places and destroyed. Seeing this, the emperor ordered her beheading. Her skull is kept at the Holy Monastery of Curtea de Arges in Romania. Her memory is honoured on the 12th of January.
