St. Paisios of Mount Athos ~ St. Paisios of Mount Athos, Monastic

The Story Behind This Icon:

Saint Paisios was born in the early 1920s in the small town of Farasa, in Cappadocia, where the town priest was Saint Arsenios. Saint Paisios led a normal life and grew up to join the army during the Greek Civil War. He insisted on never firing a weapon, and therefore served as a radio operator. Once, during a battle, his unit was under heavy fire, but he prayed to the Panagia to intercede, and she quickly did, saving him and his unit. Following the Civil War, Saint Paisios became a monk, arriving on Mount Athos in 1950. He first settled at the monastery of Esphigmenou, before leaving for Philotheou. Later in life, Paisios suffered from lung problems and had to leave for Thessaloniki to be treated. During his time outside of Mt. Athos, he stayed with the Sisterhood of St. John the Theologian in Souroti, just outside of Thessaloniki. Saint Paisisos returned after a couple of years of treatment to live in the cell of Panagouda, which belongs to the Koutloumousiou Monastery. It was there where Saint Paisios became widely known. Many people from around the world came to see and speak with him. Saint Paisios had many God-given abilities and helped many who came to him, simultaneously praying for the entire world. In 1993, Saint Paisios left the Holy Mountain due to health issues. Saint Paisios lived for others, not caring at all for himself, which left him in a weakened health state. He slept in Christ in 1994 in the Monastery of Saint John the Theologian in Souroti, Greece.

Saint Paisios' feast day is celebrated on July 12.

His biography can be found here, as written by the Sisters from the Holy Hesychasterion "Evangelist John the Theologian".

$535.00

The Story Behind This Icon:

This unique icon, "Deisis” (Supplication), depicts St. Paisios and St. John the Russian on the two far ends along with the Virgin Mary and St. John the Theologian, all praying to Christ in Majesty. When praying to the Virgin Mary or to a Saint, we pray for their intercession, asking them to take our prayer to God Himself; We pray to the Saints, so they can pray for us. This icon of Deisis is reproduced, with permission, from the authentic icon painted by the monks of the Cell of St. John the Theologian, Holy Monastery of Koutloumousiou in Mount Athos, Greece. The Saints depicted in this icon are held very close to heart by the monks of the Cell. For more information on the illustrated Saints, visit our icons of each Saint independently.

Second to none.

This was my second icon, the colors are vibrant and are complemented well with the gold leaf. I chose the 7.9 by 11 and the recessed style is a subtle touch but adds great depth to the icon.

Amazing

Exceptionally beautiful. I ordered the 7.9 x 11. It has a recessed edge which adds subtle depth and creates a soft framing of the image. The colors are rich and sharp. The gold leaf is brilliant. The fidelity of the print is marvelous. It feels very sturdy as well. I am beyond pleased with this icon.

I ordered the 5 x 7 size. The icon is very beautiful. The quality is exceptional. The case that it comes in is a very nice added touch. I did have a question about my order and the response was very quick and very kind. Shipping was timely and very well packaged. I look forward to purchasing additional icons from this vendor. God Bless.

Absolutely Gorgeous!!!

I really enjoyed this icon and gave it as a present for a baptism (I was the godmother) - the picture does not do this icon justice as in person it was much more beautiful. In addition, the box and packaging that it came in were outstanding and I would highly recommend, especially if you are giving as a present because I did not need to buy a box for it. I highly recommend this icon - the quality is great and I will definitely be buying more icons from this company!

Compare Dimensions

Our most popular dimensions are pictured, to scale. 

Icon Styles

Depending on the size and theme, Holy Icons are available in both Recessed and Level styles.

recessed

The groove in our recessed icons adds depth to the Iconography, making the icon even more dramatic and impressive. In order to keep the relative proportions, the depth of the groove changes with the size of the Holy Icon.

Level

Level icons allow the Iconography to retain its boldness even in smaller sizes. As such most of our level icons have smaller dimensions.

Backside Details

Backside details vary with icon size and serve to ensure that your Holy Icon will stand the test of time. 

Solid wooden icons of larger dimensions are prone to bending and damaging as time passes. Fortunately, our Holy Icons are supported by two additional, horizontal wooden protective panels on the backside. These panels bolster the icon and allow it to sustain its shape, ensuring that your Holy Icon will remain in its original, pristine condition as it is passed down from generation to generation.

Icons of smaller dimensions are naturally sustainable over time, and experience less structural stress. As such, you will find that the backside of smaller Holy Icons is flat and proportional to their shape.
