Saint Dionysius the Areopagite Icon

This hand-painted Orthodox icon depicts Saint Dionysius the Areopagite (also known as Denys, Dionysios, Denis), the 1st-century disciple of the Apostle Paul. Converted after hearing Paul preach at the Areopagus in Athens (Acts 17:34), he became the first bishop of Athens and a steadfast shepherd of the early Church. He is remembered as a defender of the faith, a man of deep wisdom, and a witness to the truth of Christ in the pagan world.

In the Orthodox calendar, Saint Dionysius the Areopagite is commemorated on October 3, while in the Catholic tradition he is also remembered on the same date as a holy bishop and martyr.

The icon of Saint Dionysius (Dionysios, Denis, Denys) is a meaningful gift for theologians, clergy, students of philosophy, and families seeking wisdom and steadfast faith. It is also suitable for name days, baptisms, and new homes, bringing the intercession of a saint who united learning with holiness and stood firm in the truth of the Gospel.
