| Hand-painted wooden Saint Valentina icon on a golden background is shown holding a cross and a scroll. St. Valentina was a native of Palestinian Caesarea. St. Valentina was accused of not worshipping the pagan gods and was led to a temple to offer sacrifices, but she bravely hurled a stone at the idol and turned her back on it. She was beaten mercilessly and sentenced to be beheaded along with St. Ennatha.
