Saint Paraskevi (Petka) is one of the most beloved women saints among the Serbian people - a protectress whom the faithful invoke in illness and trouble. On this icon she is shown in dark monastic robes, holding a cross in her right hand - the sign of martyric witness - and in her left a bowl in which eyes are depicted. This motif recalls the old tradition by which Saint Paraskevi has long been invoked as a healer, especially of the eyes and of sight. Beside the figure is the Greek inscription Η ΑΓΙΑ ΠΑΡΑΣΚΕΥΗ, according to the iconographic canon.
The icon is made in our workshop in Petrovcic, near Belgrade. The image is applied to a papyrus-look surface with curled, timeworn edges, and mounted on a dark-toned wooden panel with metal studs at the corners. On the back there is a jute cord for hanging and a certificate of authenticity by Orthodox Corner. Available in three sizes. A certificate accompanies every piece.

- MDF base. Carefully selected and worked to a smooth finish - a stable base that does not warp over time.
- Lithograph print. The icon is printed in high resolution onto the prepared MDF base, with faithful colours and detail.
- Hand-finishing. Every piece is finished and checked by hand before the final coat.
- Eco-friendly varnish. The final coat protects against moisture and gives lasting durability - the colours stay vivid for years.
- Certificate and hook. The back carries the workshop's mark and a hook ready for hanging. Every icon comes with a certificate of authenticity.
