This striking icon of Saint Rafqa (Rebecca) of Himlaya is beautifully printed on brushed silver aluminum, creating a luminous and textured surface that enhances both depth and color. The metallic finish interacts with light to give the sacred image a radiant, almost living presence—perfect for prayer spaces, home altars, or as a meaningful devotional gift.
Saint Rafqa is depicted in her monastic habit, holding a prayer rope and the Holy Scriptures, symbolizing her life of contemplation, sacrifice, and unwavering devotion to Christ. The serene Lebanese landscape behind her, along with the sacred symbols of the Cross and the Virgin and Child, situates her holiness within the spiritual heritage of the Maronite Church. Her gentle expression reflects the profound peace she maintained despite decades of intense physical suffering.
Born in 1832 in Himlaya, Lebanon, Rafqa consecrated her life entirely to God, embracing religious life with joy despite hardship and opposition. Known for her deep humility and obedience, she later joined the Lebanese Maronite Order, where she lived a life of prayer, silence, and service. After asking to share in Christ’s Passion, she endured years of severe illness, blindness, and paralysis with remarkable patience, offering her suffering in union with Jesus. Even in her pain, she radiated peace and gratitude.
Following her death in 1914, numerous miracles were attributed to her intercession, especially healings from serious illnesses. Canonized in 2001 by Pope Saint John Paul II, Saint Rafqa is honored as a powerful intercessor and a model of redemptive suffering, Eucharistic devotion, and unwavering faith.
Printed on durable aluminum, this icon combines sacred tradition with modern craftsmanship. Its sleek, frameless presentation and resilient material make it ideal for both contemporary and traditional settings, ensuring long-lasting beauty and devotion.
