Saint Sampson was from Rome and flourished during the reign of Saint Justinian
the Great. Being a physician, he came to Constantinople, where he so distinguished
himself for his virtue and his love for the sick and the poor that Patriarch
Menas ordained him priest. The Emperor Justinian was healed by him, and out of
gratitude built him a large hospital, which was afterwards known as "The
Hospice of Sampson." Saint Samson is one of the Holy Unmercenaries.
The icon reproductions are created by iconographer monks of various Greek Orthodox monasteries in Greece and all images are approved replications by the Greek Orthodox Church. As icons are considered to be the Gospel in image, these images are accurate and true Orthodox renderings, not second-hand interpretations. The icon images are mounted on solid wood and protected from tarnish with a varnish finish that seals in colors and creates a shiny luster.
