Matrona of Moscow - 7" x 8.5"

Although Saint Matrona of Moscow was blind from birth, Orthodox iconographic tradition portrays saints not as they were in their earthly suffering, but as they are in their glorified, spiritual state in the Kingdom of Heaven. This is why saints who were physically disabled or afflicted with illness during their lifetime are depicted as whole and perfected in icons. This icon serves as a powerful reminder that holiness transcends physical limitations, and that true sight is found in spiritual wisdom
