The Significance of Saint Argyri

St. Argyre was a very beautiful young woman who more than anything yearned to be close to Christ. She was born to a pious family in Proussa and possessed a deep religious conviction. At eighteen, St. Argyre married a young Christian man, but enjoyed a mere few happy days as a newlywed, as a neighbor coveted Argyre and threatened to take her for himself. Argyre outwardly rejected the neighbor’s advances time and time again, until the neighbor slandered her, dishonestly accusing her of having succumbed to his advances. St. Argyre was imprisoned and her case was eventually taken to Constantinople, upon request of her husband. There, she declared herself a Christian who would never abandon Christ.

Handmade in Greece since 1978.

Every piece leaves our workshop finished by hand — the wood prepared, the image laid, the surface aged and varnished. One at a time, the way Greek icon workshops have worked for generations.

We make them to be lived with: held in prayer, hung in a quiet corner, passed on.

"Come close to God, and God will come close to you." — James 4:8
