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.

Gilding polished iconography is a technique that gives a glossy and smooth texture to sacred icons and on Mount Athos, this tradition is deeply rooted. Using special materials such as egg white, the surface of the icon is carefully polished, enhancing the colors and adding depth, as seen in many Athonite icons renowned for their spiritual power. This iconography is done on natural wood, meticulously prepared by the monks. The wood is coated with gesso to create a stable and smooth base, ensuring that the burnished surface retains its shine and durability over time, remaining worthy of the Athonite tradition.
- The production time for each handmade icon is up to 15 days, plus additional shipping time to your region.
