St. Laura by the hand of Matthew Garrett, 2009St. Laura of Cordova

Saint Laura of Cordova (Spanish: Santa Laura de Córdoba) (died 864) was a Spanish Christian who lived in Muslim Spain during the 9th century. She was born in Córdoba, and became a nun at Cuteclara after her husband died, eventually rising to become an abbess. She was martyred by Muslims who took her captive and scalded her to death by placing her in a vat of boiling lead. Her feast day is on October 19; she is one of the Martyrs of Córdoba.

    Hello Mr. Garrett,
    Your work is beautiful! My god daughter has taken the name of St. Laura of Cordoba. I don’t know if you know, but there are no icons available for her so I am constantly on the lookout. By any chance do you have an icon for sale as well as the prayer card you list? Could you send me the details (size, price, shipping etc)?
    Thank you so much-God bless you and your beautiful work!
