Description
A beautiful lithography with double varnish to ensure long lasting in time & water proof properties with the representation of Saint Spyridon the Workworker. An artwork following the Athonian techniques to the letter created with love & patience. The creator applied the process of artificial ageing & added a handmade metal finish to give this icon unique aesthetic value. Our father among the saints Spyridon of Trimythous the Wonderworker (Greek: Σπυρίδων ca. 270-348) was a fourth century bishop who was present at the First Ecumenical Council. He is also commonly referred to in Corfu as Keeper of the City (Greek: ο πολιούχος), since he is also the patron saint of that island (this is where his relics are located & venerated). He is commemorated by the church on December 12. Spyridon was born in the village of Ashia (askia - "without shade"), Cyprus (270 AD) & died in Trimythous, Cyprus (348 AD). He was a peasant farmer & shepherd & was not educated. Spyridon was married & had a daughter, Irene. After his wife died, he & his daughter both entered into monasticism. He later became the Bishop of Trimythous (during the reign of Constantine the Great) & continued in piety for which he was greatly known. He is the patron saint of potters (from the miracle of the potsherd). Can be hung on a wall or placed on a flat surface.
