Byzantine Hand Painted Icon of Saint Spyridon, Bishop of Tremithon.
Saint Spyridon was born in 270 AD in Cyprus and was a shepherd as the rest of his family. He was a peaceful and prudent man, who followed the teaching of Jesus Christ, and became even more devoted to it after the death of his wife.
He was ordained a Priest and because of his devotion to God, he was elected Bishop of Tremithon. According to tradition, he has performed miracles many times.
Apolytikion
O Father, God-bearer, Spyridon, you were proven a champion and Wonder Worker of the First Ecumenical Council. You spoke to the girl in the grave and turned the serpent to gold. And, when chanting your prayers, most sacred One, angels ministered with you. Glory to Him who glorified you; glory to Him who crowned you; glory to Him who, through you, works healing for all.
