The Significance of Saint Parthenius

This wonderful icon has been created with the technique of lithography and has a double varnish to ensure waterproof and duration in time. The creator of this icon has learned the canonization of iconography in workshops of the Monasteries of Mount Athos, where he was taught both the technique of lithography and the process of handmade artificial ageing.

On February 7, the Greek Orthodox Church commemorates the Feast Day of Saint Parthenios the Miracle Worker, who is the Patron Saint of cancer patients, as he is known to have performed countless miracles for those battling the disease. Not only did he heal people with cancer during his lifetime, but he has continued to do so since his repose.

Filled with the grace of God, Saint Parthenios from age eighteen healed the sick in the name of Christ, cast out demons and worked other miracles. Learning of the young man’s virtuous life, Bishop Philetus of Melitoupolis educated him and ordained him, presbyter.
