Diaphanous Byzantine Icon of Saint Spyridon.
Saint Spyridon was born in 270 AD in Cyprus and was a shepherd as the rest of his family. He was a peaceful and prudent man, who followed the teaching of Jesus Christ, and became even more devoted to it after the death of his wife.
He was ordained a Priest and because of his devotion to God, he was elected Bishop of Trimythous. According to tradition, he has performed miracles many times.
Our church honors Saint Spyridon on December 12 of each year, the day of his death.
