The Significance of Saint Esther
St. Esther was the queen of Persia through marriage. She was married to king Ahasuerus, more commonly referred to as Xerxes I who reigned from 486 – 465 BC. According to records, the king was looking for a new wife after his queen Vashti refused to obey him. He chose Esther because of her beauty.
Haman the kings chief adviser was offended by Esther’s cousin and guardian, Mordecai. Haman thus got permission from the king to have all the Jews in the kingdom killed. But Esther foiled this plot and won permission from the king for the Jews to kill their enemies. They celebrate the feast of Purim to remember their delivery.
Queen Esther was the daughter of Abihail from the tribe of Benjamin. Her Jewish name was Edissa. She was adopted by her uncle Mardochai. He was her father’s brother.

Really lovely icon. Highly recommend.
Handmade in Greece since 1978.
Every piece leaves our workshop finished by hand — the wood prepared, the image laid, the surface aged and varnished. One at a time, the way Greek icon workshops have worked for generations.
We make them to be lived with: held in prayer, hung in a quiet corner, passed on.
"Come close to God, and God will come close to you." — James 4:8
