Description

Handmade Byzantine Icon of Saint Seraphim of Levadia.

Saint Seraphim was born in a village in Boeotia and baptized with the name Sotirios. From a young age he studied the Holy Bible and wanted to dedicate himself to the ascetic life.

His initial ascetic place was on Mount Karkara, while later he moved to Mount Sagmatio and to the Monastery of the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ. There, he received the name Seraphim and was ordained a deacon and then an elder.

His fame had spread and he received many visitors, but as he wanted to withdraw from the world, he retired to Mount Dombos in Livadia, where he built some cells for him and a few faithful monks.

He died peacefully in 1602 at the age of 75.

The Icon of Saint Seraphim of Levadia is an exact copy of Byzantine art and is created by experienced craftsmen using the method of gold printing where hagiographic leaves of 22 karat gold are applied in detail to decorate the background.

During the final processing, the icon is painted with dark red color around the perimeter and polished with a special varnish to maintain its shine.

It is offered in level or recessed wooden surface and is suitable for wall mounting.
