O Christ our God, save our souls through the intercessions of thy holy martyr Salome!

There is little known about St. Salome.  In the Synaxarion of Jerusalem's Holy Cross Monastery it is written: "On this day we commemorate the martyrdom of Salome the Georgian, who at first yielded to the Persian threats and renounced Christ, but later confessed the true Faith.  For this she was beheaded and cast into flames."  It is believed that the saint was tortured in that very monastery in  approximately the years 1227-1228.  

This icon is by the hand of Lasha Kintsurashvili.  The inscription is in Georgian.
