Saints Porphyrios, Paisios & Iakovos – Serigraph on Naturally Aged Wood – Mount Athos

Description

Icon of the Three Contemporary Holy Elders on Naturally Aged Wood

There have always been, are, and will be Saints who serve as living examples and role models in the turbulent life of humans. Saints who inspire with their faith, asceticism, and patience.

The three contemporary holy elders of our time—Saint Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia (December 2), Saint Paisios of Mount Athos (July 12), and Saint Iakovos of Evia (November 22)—are shining beacons in the darkness of the difficulties and temptations that mankind faces daily.

Through their deep faith, asceticism, and patience, they not only gained eternity but also earned a place in the ranks of the saints of the Orthodox Church. Illuminated by the Holy Spirit and endowed with the gift of discernment, they served as spiritual oases for the countless people who had the blessing to visit them and speak with them.

In the earthly Paradise, Mount Athos, where the three contemporary Saints lived and struggled, the wood on which the sanctified images of the three elders are depicted has also lived for many years. The monks, after processing and preserving the wood with special methods, used it to craft this particular icon.

As the icon is handmade and the wood processing is done by hand, there may be small variations in the wood, but not in the depiction.

The icon is available upon request.
