Spyridon, the God-bearing Father of the Church, the great defender of Corfu and
the boast of all the Orthodox, had Cyprus as his homeland. He was simple in
manner and humble of heart. When he was joined to a wife, he begat of her a daughter
whom they named Irene. After his wife’s departure from this life, he was
appointed Bishop of Trimythus. When the First Ecumenical Council was assembled
in Nicaea, he also was present, and by means of his most simple words stopped
the mouths of the Arians who were wise in their own conceit. By the divine
grace which dwelt in him, he wrought such great wonders that he received the
surname Wonderworker. So it is that, having tended his flock piously and in a
manner pleasing to God, he imposed in the Lord about the year 350, leaving to
his country his sacred relics as a consolation and source of healing for the
faithful.
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.
