Commemorates on: September 29
This Saint was born in Corinth in 448. He went to Palestine to the Lavra of
Euthymius the Great, but because of his youth was sent by Saint Euthymius to
Saint Gerasimus after the death of Saint Gerasimus he returned to the Lavra of
Saint Euthymius. Later he took on a more rigorous life of asceticism in the
wilderness of Natoufa, where there was nothing to eat except the exceedingly
bitter wild herb call squills, which, however, through his prayers, God made
sweet for him and his disciple. He lived 107 years and reposed in the year 555.
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.
