Saint Eleutherios Greek Orthodox Icon
High quality byzantine Orthodox handmade icons. Made in Greece and constructed in the traditional Orthodox manner.
Iconographer: Chr. Liondas
This Saint had Rome as his homeland. Having been orphaned of his father from
childhood, he was taken by his mother Anthia to Anicetus, the Bishop of Rome
(some call him Anencletus, or Anacletus), by whom he was instructed in the
sacred letters (that is, the divine Scriptures). Though still very young in
years, he was made Bishop of Illyricum by reason of his surpassing virtue, and
by his teachings he converted many unbelievers to Christ. However, during a
most harsh persecution that was raised against the Christians under Hadrian
(reigned 117-138), the Saint was arrested by the tyrants. Enduring many
torments for Christ, he was finally put to death by two soldiers about the year
126.
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.
