Iconography & Symbolism
The Saint Spyridon Icon (Greek: Ἅγιος Σπυρίδων ὁ Θαυματουργός, “Saint Spyridon the Wonderworker”) depicts the holy Bishop of Trimythous, one of the most beloved saints in the Orthodox Church. He is shown wearing his bishop’s vestments and a distinctive woven shepherd’s cap, symbolizing humility and simplicity.

Saint Spyridon participated in the First Ecumenical Council (Nicaea, 325 AD), where he defended the Orthodox faith against Arianism. According to tradition, he performed a miracle before the Council, holding a clay tile that emitted fire, water, and earth, revealing the mystery of the Holy Trinity — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in one essence.

He is known for his miracles of healing, raising the dead, and protecting the faithful from famine and disaster. His incorrupt relics rest on the island of Corfu, where he is honored as the island’s guardian and protector.
