Have you ever heard of Saint Menas of Egypt? He was a martyr, wonder-worker, and soldier in the Roman army, who refused to recant his Christian faith and thus lost his life. The featured 16th-century icon is devoted to this holy figure and depicts scenes from the saint’s life. His feast day is on November 24 of the Gregorian Calendar; however, those who follow the new style or Revised Julian calendar celebrate it on November 11. Nowadays, the icon is held at the Arkhangelsk Regional Museum of Fine Arts in Russia.
