Silver-Plated Icon – Saint Anthony the Great (Ο Άγιος Αντώνιος)
Byzantine-style icon with pure silver plating on wood and hardboard
This silver-plated icon honors Saint Anthony the Great, the revered founder of Christian monasticism and a spiritual pillar of the Orthodox Church. Born in Egypt in the 3rd century, Saint Anthony left all earthly possessions to pursue a life of prayer and asceticism in the desert, becoming a model of virtue and spiritual warfare for generations of monks and faithful.
Depicted in the timeless Byzantine style and adorned with pure silver, this icon captures his serene yet powerful presence. Mounted on a durable wood and hardboard surface, it is an ideal piece for home icon corners, churches, or as a meaningful gift to those who admire the desert saints.
