This sacred icon honors Saint Athanasius the Great (Ο Άγιος Αθανάσιος), one of the most revered Fathers of the Church and a fearless defender of the Orthodox faith. As Archbishop of Alexandria in the 4th century, Saint Athanasius stood firm against the Arian heresy, upholding the true divinity of Christ. His unwavering commitment earned him the title "Pillar of Orthodoxy" and made him a cornerstone of patristic theology.
Depicted in traditional Byzantine style, Saint Athanasius is shown in episcopal vestments, holding the Gospel and offering a gesture of blessing. His countenance reflects spiritual strength, doctrinal clarity, and the grace of a life dedicated entirely to Christ. The icon is printed on high-quality canvas and adorned with a stamped overlay of certified pure silver, enhancing its sacred beauty and timeless character.
