This Saint had Cappadocia as his homeland. He lived during the years of Leo of
Thrace, who reigned from 457 to 474. The Saint established in the Holy Land a
great communal monastery, wherein he was the shepherd of many monks. While
Saint Savvas was the head of the hermits of Palestine, Saint Theodosius was
governor of those living the cenobitic life, for which reason he is called the
Cenobiarch. Together with Saint Savvas, towards whom he cherished a deep
brotherly love in Christ, he defended the whole land of Palestine from the
heresy of the Monophysites, which was championed by the Emperor Anastasius and
might very well have triumphed in the Holy Land without the Opposition of these
two great monastic fathers and their zealous defense of the holy Council of
Chalcedon. Having lived for 103 years, he reposed in peace.
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.
