Saint Xenophon icon, Handmade Greek Orthodox icon of St Xenofon, Byzantine art wall hanging icon on wood plaque, religious decor

A beautiful lithography with double varnish to ensure long lasting in time and water proof properties with the representation of Saint Xenophon. An artwork following the Athonian techniques to the letter created with love and patience. The creator applied the process of artificial ageing and added a handmade metal finish to give this icon unique aesthetic value.

Xenophon, his spouse Mary and their sons Arkadios and John, were noted citizens of Constantinople and lived in the fifth century. Despite riches and position, they distinguished themselves by their simplicity of soul and goodness of heart. Wishing to give their sons John and Arkadios a more complete education, they sent them off to the Phoenician city of Beirut. Through Divine Providence the ship on which both brothers sailed became ship-wrecked.  The monastic elders Xenophon and Maria, having pursued asceticism in silence and strict fasting, also received of God the gift of wonderworking.

Can be hung on a wall or placed on a flat surface.
