This wonderful icon has been created with the technique of lithography and has a double varnish to ensure waterproof and duration in time. The creator of this icon has learned the canonization of iconography in workshops of the Monasteries of Mount Athos, where he was taught both the technique of lithography and the process of handmade artificial ageing.
Saint Rita was born Margherita Lotti in Roccaporena, Italy in 1381. The day after her baptism, Rita was surrounded by a swarm of white bees, which went in and out of her infant mouth without hurting her. Rather than being alarmed, her family believed she was marked to be virtuous and devoted to God.
At an early age, she begged her parents to allow her to enter a convent but was instead arranged to be married to a cruel man named Paolo Mancini. Young Rita became a wife and mother at only twelve years of age and her husband was a man of violent temper. In anger, he often mistreated Rita verbally and physically. He was also known to pursue other women and he had many enemies.
Paolo had many enemies in Cascia, but Rita's influence over him eventually led him to be a better man. He even renounced a family feud between the Mancinis and Chiquis. Unfortunately, the feud between the Mancini and Cascia family grew turbulent and one of Paolo's allies betrayed and killed him.
Following her husband's death, Rita gave his murderers a public pardon, but Paolo's brother, Bernardo, was still angry and encouraged Rita's two sons, Giovanni Antonio and Paulo Maria, to join the feud. Under their uncle's leadership, each boy became more and more like their father had been before Rita married him, and they wanted to avenge their father's murder.
She is lovely thank you

Perfect set up for my icon corner and love it and have ordered another one just waiting for the back order to come in.
The added layers, texture, and details make it feel ans look expensive. Quality is definitely up to par. Most importantly, the Holy Art is an authentic Orthodox Christian source unlike other seller out there (look up the Monastery Icon controversy- they weren't even Christian and were mass producing occult and pagan stuff too just for profit; their icons were also kinda ugly)
The silver wasn't quite as pronounced against the gold look, like the picture shows, but it is great, nonetheless. We are very happy with it. Glory to God!
This is a wonderful icon. It combines the many facets of the Nativity story into a harmonious whole. I love to let my eyes pass across it, settling on one detail one day, and possibly a different one the next, as I ponder the inexhaustible mystery of the Incarnation during this Epiphany season.
Holy Art is a beautiful company that I pray are deeply blessed in many ways..Good solid folks..I will definitely buy from Holy Art again
