The Significance of Saint Irene Chrysovalantou
Saint Irene Chrysovalantou, commemorated on July 28, was the abbess of the Chrysovalantou Monastery in the 9th century. Originally destined to marry Emperor Michael, she instead chose a monastic life, dedicating herself to prayer and vigils. Early in her monastic career, she became the abbess and led the community with deep trust in God. Known for her spiritual gifts of foresight and exorcism, she spent nights in prayer, during which she levitated and caused the cypress trees to bend towards her.
She was also blessed with three apples from St. John the Theologian, had visions of angels, and appeared in a vision to the Emperor to free an innocent man. Even after her death at the age of 102, she continued to perform miracles.

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
