New icon: St Edna, Abbess of Whitby

This recently painted icon is St Edna, who succeeded St Hilda as the Abbess of Whitby in the 7th century. I based this icon a series painted by Aidan Hart of early British saints, including one of St Hilda herself. These seem to me, in turn, to be inspired by an icon of St Theodora from Mt Sinai in Egypt.


This is for my domestic church.
