Icon of Saint Apollonia

Icon of Saint Apollonia – Patron Saint of Dentists and Those Suffering Tooth Pain

Saint Apollonia of Alexandria (†249) was a virgin and martyr who suffered for her faith during the persecutions of the 3rd century.
When her teeth were violently broken, she remained steadfast in her love for Christ and gave her life with joy.
In this Icon of Saint Apollonia, she holds pincers – the instrument of her martyrdom – symbolizing courage, faith, and perseverance.

Patron of dentists and the suffering

Saint Apollonia is venerated as the patron saint of dentists, dental technicians, and all who suffer from tooth or jaw pain.
She reminds us that faith can bring peace even amid physical suffering.

Symbolism and craftsmanship

The golden background represents divine glory and heavenly light,
while her red and blue garments reflect love and wisdom.
Each icon is made on solid linden wood, hand-gilded,
and printed directly on the gold surface, then sealed with a protective varnish.
