This majestic hand-painted icon portrays Saint Demetrius of Thessaloniki, also known as the Myrrh-Streamer and one of the most beloved military saints of the Orthodox Church. Rendered in traditional Byzantine style with egg tempera and genuine gold leaf, this icon is mounted on hand-carved natural wood — a timeless tribute to the courage, faith, and martyrdom of the great protector of Thessaloniki.
Saint Demetrius was a Christian officer in the Roman army during the reign of Emperor Maximian in the early 4th century. Arrested for openly professing his faith, he was imprisoned and later speared to death for refusing to deny Christ. After his martyrdom, a fragrant myrrh began to stream from his relics — a miraculous sign of divine grace that continues to inspire the faithful.
He is considered the patron saint of Thessaloniki, a defender of the oppressed, and a powerful intercessor for soldiers and all those facing spiritual or physical battles.
