I am wondering how many here have heard of St. Gianna Biretta Mola?

I have had a devotion to her since I first read of her a decade ago - before her canonization. She appealed to me as a prolifer and as an adopted child.

As a Byzantine Catholic I would like to have an icon of her, but at this time, the only way to realize that wish is to commission one.

If I were to do so, and were to secure rights and permission to reproduce it in some fashion, would folks be interested in having a reproduction of it?

To be clear - I am not trying to sell or solicit anything. I just would like to know if there is interest in such a work. If I am able to commission a icon of this saint, in traditional Byzantine fashion and also secure rights to reproduce prints, are there other folks here who would have an interest in an icon of her for their home, parish, or chapel?

My first grandchild will be named Gianna!
I would be interested in an icon of St. Gianna. 🙂 I’m not sure what the process is to have an iconographer write a new saint.
 
I did not know about her, but thanks to your post, thank you very much!, I do.

I think an Icon would be a good idea.

And for the all the others who do not know here is web site for St Gianna Beretta Molla.

The Society of Saint Gianna Beretta Molla has an online gift shop and an icon would be a good addition.
 
I love her to pieces, yes! St. Gianna is part of my “committee” of saints. I ask her to pray for us, whenever I must take my mother to one of her endless doctor appointments.
 
Such a wonderful mother, doctor, and saint. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing! 👍 🙂 😃 For more information on her life, click here:

*Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee. Blessed art Thou among women and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen. *

Come Holy Spirit, come by means of the powerful intercession of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, your well beloved spouse.

I heard of her not long ago. What a testament to life. I think an icon of her would be pretty cool.
 
I too have had a great devotion to her for years, even before she was canonized. In fact, she obtained a miracle for me! Short version–I prayed on her relics (her glove), and she was able to cure my infertility. My daughter, born exactly 9 months after venerating her relics, is named Gianna Elizabeth. 😃
 
What is the status for obtaining an icon of St. Gianna?
My six year old daughter is named after St. Gianna. All our children have an icon of their patron saints, except I have not been able to find one of Gianna. Would very much like to give this to my daughter!
 
Go to my website www.holyrosaryshrine.org to see the first Byzantine stle Icon (copyrighted) produced by me in 2010. It will be on display in its permanent home at Salt+Light TV in Toronto, Ontario, Canada… later this year.

Hello! The icon you have crafted is beautiful. We have since purchased a photo of St Gianna, mounted it on wood and used that as an “icon” for our daughter. It is working out nicely for her. At this time, I don’t have interest in purchasing a separate icon, however, don’t let me discourage you. I am sure there are many others who would love to have it. Very truly yours, Christine
