This reverent hand-painted icon honors Saint Evmenios Saridakis of Crete, a modern saint known for his profound humility, love, and spiritual gifts. Painted in the traditional Byzantine style with egg tempera and illuminated with genuine 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on naturally hand-carved wood, offering a timeless tribute to a gentle soul beloved by many.
Born in 1931, Saint Evmenios devoted his life to serving the suffering, especially those afflicted with leprosy and mental illness. As a priest and spiritual father, he lived a life of deep prayer, asceticism, and hidden holiness. Known as a bearer of the Holy Spirit, he radiated peace and love to all who met him. Canonized by the Orthodox Church in 2023, he is seen as a shining example of Christ’s compassion in the modern age.
