This icon honors Saint Cyriacus the Anchorite, a revered 5th-century desert father known for his life of asceticism, prayer, and miracles in the Judean desert. Born in Corinth, he became a monk at a young age and later embraced a life of strict solitude, seeking union with God in silence and fasting. His spiritual wisdom and healing gifts drew many seeking guidance.
Crafted in the traditional Byzantine style, this hand-painted icon features rich egg tempera tones and is accented with 22K gold leaf, representing the divine radiance of holiness. The carved wooden panel evokes the sacred simplicity of monastic life and is a meaningful reminder of the power of inner stillness and prayer.
