Hand-painted in the traditional Tewahedo style, this sacred icon honors the legacy of Abba Samuel of Waldebba—an Ethiopian monastic saint known for his extreme devotion, spiritual power, and miraculous endurance.

This artwork captures pivotal moments from his hagiography: his wilderness trials, his encounter with the angel, and the taming of wild beasts. Holding a cross and staff, with chains at his side, Abba Samuel is shown as a symbol of steadfast faith and divine strength.

🕊️ Commemorated on Tahisas 12 (November 22) in the Ethiopian Orthodox calendar.
