Conrad accepted responsibility, made restitution, and with his wife embraced a penitential vocation. He later lived as a Franciscan tertiary and hermit in Sicily, where people sought his prayer and counsel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIconography and theological meaning\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe saint wears a dark brown penitential habit and holds a large plain wooden cross with both hands. His weathered face and upward gaze convey the sobriety of conversion, while the cross is not an ornament but the center of a life reordered by truth, restitution, and prayer. The gold field affirms the hope contained within penance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor prayer and Christian devotion\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis icon is particularly meaningful for examination of conscience, recovery after serious mistakes, making amends, and beginning again with integrity. It also suits those drawn to Franciscan simplicity or a quieter life of prayer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCrafted on linden wood in Poland\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe image is printed directly onto a double-primed linden wood panel and finished with decorative gold leaf. Each made-to-order piece is produced in Poland, includes a certificate with the year of production, and has a hanger on the back. Natural wood, a luminous gold field, and precise contemporary drawing create sacred art suited to a home prayer corner, chapel, rectory, or a carefully chosen Catholic gift.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Art Christiana","offers":[{"title":"10x15 cm","offer_id":57394209259785,"sku":"ACHI439S","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15x20 cm","offer_id":57394209292553,"sku":"ACHI439M","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20x25 cm","offer_id":57394209325321,"sku":"ACHI439L","price":52.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30x40 cm","offer_id":57394209358089,"sku":"ACHI439XL","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"40x50 cm","offer_id":57394209390857,"sku":"ACHI439XXL","price":169.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/8483\/8153\/files\/achi439-religious-icon.jpg?v=1791401751","url":"https:\/\/artchristiana.com\/products\/saint-conrad-of-piacenza-icon-on-wood","provider":"Art Christiana","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
