caption: The image shows a hand-painted icon of St. Therese of Lisieux, the patron saint of the Catholic Church, holding a cross in her hand. She is wearing a white robe with a blue sash and a golden halo around her head. Her face is serene and her eyes are looking off into the distance. Her hair is long and wavy, and her hands are clasped in prayer. The background is a deep blue, and the icon is framed in a golden border.
