Empress Theodora was regent of the Byzantine Empire and the one who in 843, by convening a church council, ended the second period of iconoclasm and brought the final victory of icons in the Church. That day - the first Sunday of Great Lent - is still celebrated as the "Sunday of Orthodoxy" or the "Triumph of Orthodoxy." In the icon Theodora is depicted in full imperial robes and crown, standing frontally, holding an icon of the Lord Jesus Christ Pantocrator in her right hand - a direct iconographic statement of her deed. The background is gold, and the Greek inscription Η ΑΓΙΑ ΘΕΟΔΩΡΑ clearly names her.
This icon is particularly meaningful for the sacred corner because it carries within it both history and theology: Theodora defended the right to icons precisely because they are what now adorn our homes and altars. The Church celebrates Empress Theodora on 11 February.
