My Pilgrim's Icon

I'm telling my 'Pilgrim Imposter' story over at Musings From Red Bell Farm. The pilgrim cell that I stayed in at the Church hostel was decorated with only this icon on the wall. Not being very familiar with icons, I have no idea who this Saint is. I can't even tell if it's a man or a woman. At first I thought it might be Mary, Mother of Jesus, but I think most images of her show her robed in blue, not red. My photo doesn't capture the rest of the picture; that may have given me a clue to this Saint's identity. Whoever he/she is, I felt very blessed by their presence. As I lay in bed, the eyes of this icon looked directly at me. Do you know who this Saint is?
