Saints Christodoulos of Patmos and John the Theologian, Full Body - Byzantine Icon

[Model: BYZ_st-7088]

Handmade Byzantine Icon of Saint Christodoulos of Patmos and John the Theologian.

Saint Christodoulos was born in Bithynia with the name John from a pious family. His parents, Theodoros and Anna, taught him the teachings of Jesus Christ and he wanted to follow them faithfully.

After some years, he became a monk and received the name Christodoulos (meaing "slave of Christ" in Greek). He traveled to many parts of Asia Minor and visited many islands, but he decided to get permission and aid from the emperor Alexios I Comnenus to build a monastery in Patmos.

His wish came true and the monastery in honor of Saint John the Theologian was built. Saint Christodoulos was a monk there until he fled to Evia after the Arab invasion.

He died in 1101 and his holy relic was transferred to Patmos, where it remains to this day.


Kontakion

You appeared as a bright star announcing Christ with your radiance, / which is repulsive to this world, O Martyr Christodoulos; / extinguishing the allure of false gods, / you enlighten the faithful, / always interceding for us all.


The Icon of Saint Christodoulos is an exact copy of Byzantine art and is created by experienced craftsmen using the method of gold printing where hagiographic leaves of 22 karat gold are applied in detail to decorate the background.

During the final processing, the Icon is painted with dark red color around the perimeter and polished with a special varnish to maintain its shine.

It is offered in level or recessed wooden surface and is suitable for wall mounting.
