Saint John the Kalabytes (Hut-Dweller), Full Body - Hand Painted Icon

[Model: HND_st-9515]

Byzantine Hand Painted Icon of Saint John the Kalabytes.


Saint John the Kalabytes lived in Constantinople and was the son of Eutropius and Theodora. His faith prompted him to refuse the wealth of his family and to follow a monastic life in the monastery of Akoimitoi ("Unsleeping").

When, years later, he learned of his father's immoral life and his mother's disappointment, he returned to his paternal home as a monk, without revealing his identity. His parents were very moved by the stranger's words, and for this reason they built him a small hut near their house.

From this short distance, Saint John the Kalabytes (meaning the "Hut-Dweller") shaped the life of his parents and when he finally revealed his name to them, he passed away peacefully.


Troparion of Saint John the Kalabytes

From your early youth, / you longed with fervor for the things of the Lord. / Leaving the world and its pleasures, / you became an example of monastic life. / Most blessed John, you built your hut at the door of your parents’ house and overcame the devil’s guiles. / Therefore Christ Himself has worthily glorified you.


Hand-Painted Icons occupy a valuable place in ecclesiastical art because, beyond their obvious artistic value, a hand-painted icon unites man with the holiness of the depicted person.


For the Hand-Painted Icon of Saint John the Kalabytes, our experienced painters use traditional techniques and high-quality materials that offer excellent depiction and durability over time.


All our Hand-Painted Icons are painted with egg tempera, while you can choose the size of the icon, the decoration of the background, the language of the inscriptions as well as the type of wood you wish to use.
