The icon of Saint Nicholas reminds us of the humble and loving spiritual father who dedicated his life to serving the suffering and the sick. Born in 1931 in the village of Ethia, Crete, he felt the call to monastic life from a young age. As a monk, he became known for his spiritual wisdom, humility, and deep love for people.
Saint Eumenios ministered for many years to the patients of the Infectious Diseases Hospital in Athens, offering not only healing but also hope. He became a source of comfort for those who approached him, radiating the light of faith and the joy of the Lord. He peacefully passed away in 1999 and was officially canonized by the Ecumenical Patriarchate in 2021.

Mixtion hand-painted icon is a traditional gilding technique used in the art of iconography, particularly on Mount Athos. Mixtion, a special adhesive material, is applied to the surface of the icon before the placement of gold leaf, giving the image a radiant and profound appearance. On Mount Athos, this art form is a living tradition, with the monasteries creating icons of great spiritual value. The iconography is done on natural wood, which is carefully and meticulously prepared. The wood is coated with gesso, creating a stable and smooth base, ensuring that the icon remains intact and luminous for centuries.
