17 century Russian Icon - St. Menas of Egypt

Saint Menas of Egypt (also Mina, Minas, Mena, Meena) (†c. 309), a martyr and wonder-worker, is one of the most well-known Coptic saints in the East and the West, due to the many miracles that are attributed to his intercession and prayers. Menas was a Coptic soldier in the Roman army martyred because he refused to recant his Christian faith. The common date of his commemoration is November 11, which occurs 13 days later (November 24) on the Julian calendar. He is considered to be a Holy Patron of falsely accused people, peddlers, and traveling merchants.
