Saint Victor lived during the middle of the Second Century and was martyred during the reign of Antoninus Pius. Saint Victor was arrested in Damascus in one of the Christian purges , where he was tortured. The pagans cut off his fingers, put out his eyes and ultimately beheaded him. Saint Victor never once yielded to the torments, holding faith in Christ and earning the crown of martyrdom, even converting witnesses on the spot. This icon is made of solid, natural limewood (Tilia) that has been prepared by hand using traditional methods and organic materials. The background is comprised of 22 Karat gold leaves that were meticulously applied by hand, piece by piece.
