Description
Feast Day/Commemorated: October 7
High-ranking officers under Emperor Maximian, Sergius and Bacchus lived as secret Christians until they were denounced by those jealous of their status. Tasked with choosing between their military prestige and their faith, they chose the latter. The Emperor attempted to break their spirit by replacing their golden insignia with women’s garments and chains, exposing them to public mockery.
They were eventually sent to the Eastern Governor, Antiochus. Though he owed his position to the pair, his loyalty to the state outweighed his gratitude. Bacchus won his martyr’s crown first, dying under the weight of a merciless beating. Sergius followed soon after; despite being forced to march in sandals pierced with nails, he remained steadfast until his final execution by beheading.
About Our Icons (Print and Mounted):
Theophany Works Icons are handcrafted Orthodox Christian icon reproductions made in the United States with prayer and a desire for excellence. Each of our icons are printed on museum-quality matte canvas, providing a rich print with saturated coloration that lends to a beautiful handwritten-icon appearance.
All Theophany Works Icons are mounted on beveled wooden boards and finished with a high-quality UV protection sealant. This offers a subtle authentic-feeling texture while also enhancing durability, allowing for cleaning with a damp cloth. Additionally, each icon is given a maple-shelled keyhole slot on its back for easy and balanced hanging.
Our beautiful icon reproductions are lovingly made in our Lancaster, Pennsylvania studio. We pray they are a blessing to all who receive them, and we believe they will be a beloved addition to any home or parish—each at a fraction of the cost of a hand-painted icon.
***Our Beloved Brothers & Sisters in Christ: Please allow 3 weeks for production as each icon is made to order. If an icon is needed sooner for a baptism, chrismation, wedding, or name day, please contact us—we will always do our very best to accommodate your request.
