Byzantine Hand Painted Icon of Panagia the Golden Spring.
The miraculous Icon of Panagia "The Golden Spring" is located in the 17th century Church of the same name in Sifnos, which originally functioned as a monastery.
According to tradition, at the time when nuns lived in the monastery, there was a raid by pirates. They all managed to escape except for one nun, who stayed behind and asked for the help of Panagia "The Golden Spring". Panagia heard the nun's prayer and created a rift, which cut off the cape from the land, causing the pirates to fall into the sea.
The Icon of Panagia "The Golden Spring" continued to work miracles in the following years and in 1964, Panagia "The Golden Spring" became the patron saint of the island.
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.
