Martyrdom of the Twelve Apostles with the Crucifixion Orthodox Icon
A beautiful and rare Russian Orthodox icon of the Crucifixion in which the martyrdom of the twelve apostles is illustrated. All of the apostles were martyred for the Faith, with the exception of St. John the Theologian. This icon draws the parallel between the Suffering of Christ and the suffering of his faithful followers, "If they hated Me, they will also hate you" and "No servant is greater than his master."
