St Spyridon the Wonderworker Icon

This handmade Orthodox icon depicts Saint Spyridon the Wonderworker, Bishop of Trimythous (also known as Spiridon, Spyros), one of the most beloved saints of the Orthodox Church. Born a humble shepherd, he became a bishop in Cyprus in the 4th century. He defended the faith at the First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea and worked many miracles, including healings and help for the poor. His relics in Corfu continue to exude grace and perform countless wonders.

In iconography, St Spyridon is portrayed wearing his bishop’s vestments and a woven shepherd’s cap, symbolizing his humility and simple origins.

In the Orthodox calendar, Saint Spyridon is commemorated on December 12, with major celebrations in Corfu, Greece, where he is honored as the island’s patron and protector.

The icon of St Spyridon the Wonderworker (Spiridon, Spyros) is a cherished gift for those seeking healing, protection in financial or family troubles, and help in times of difficulty. It is also meaningful for name days, baptisms, and new homes, invoking the intercession of a saint known for humility, compassion, and miracles.
