Description
Saint Spyridon was from Cyprus, where he worked as a shepherd. After the death of his wife, he was appointed Bishop of Trimythus. At the First Ecumenical Council, he refuted the Arians using his simple wisdom. God granted him the gift of wonderworking, and he continued to lead his flock until his repose about the year 350. After the fall of Constantinople in 1453, his incorrupt relics were taken to the island of Corfu in northwestern Greece, where they remain to this day.
His feast is celebrated on December 12. On August 11, we commemorate his miraculous intercession which prevented the Turkish invasion of Corfu in 1716.
This portrait icon features Saint Spyridon in his distinctive straw hat worn by shepherds and farmers in his time.
The original of this icon was painted by Roman and Anna Davidovskiy, a husband and wife iconography team in Moscow, Russia. Offered with the permission of the iconographers.
