Saint Dionysius of Zante, Greece, Bishop of Aegina, Full Body - Hand Painted Icon

[Model: HND_st-7023]

Byzantine Hand Painted Icon of Saint Dionysius of Zante, Bishop of Aegina.


Saint Dionysius was born in 1547 in Zakynthos and received a Christian upbringing. He was ordained a priest and in 1577 he went down to Athens in order to go to the Holy Land. There, the High Priest of Athens heard his sermon and begged him to make him Bishop of Aegina, an honor which he accepted. 

He devoted himself to his work and fell ill due to exhaustion. Thus, he resigned and returned to Zakynthos where he became temporary Bishop. 

Saint Dionysius died in 1622 and after the exhumation his remains were fragrant. In 1703 he was canonized by the Ecumenical Patriarchate. 


Kontakion 

On this day doth Zakynthos call all the faithful together, rousing them to offer praise in songs and hymns of thanksgiving to our great and fervent helper in needs and sorrows, who doth swiftly rescue them that are caught in perils. And she honoureth him, crying: O Dionysius, boast of the faithful, rejoice.
