Information:
St Dionysios is also one of Greece’s “walking saints” (St Gerasimus and St Spyridon are the others). He is said to leave his reliquary and walk about performing miracles for those who seek his aid.
St. Dionysius was remarkable in his forgiveness and love for his fellow man. He grants his people many blessings; and many miracles are reported in connection with his ministry. For example, when the Greek Orthodox Church of St. Nicholas was destroyed on September 11, 2001, during the World Trade Center attack, only two things were recovered intact: a cross and a paper icon of Dionysios.

Gr. Ιεροσολυμίτισσα – Most Holy Lady of Jerusalem is a very popular icon of the Theotokos because it overlooks the empty tomb of the Most Holy Theotokos at the Sepulcher of the Mother of God in Gethsemane—blessing the numerous pilgrims visiting the Holy Land of Jerusalem. The underground tomb of the Virgin Mary is situated in the Kidron Valley, on the foothills of the Mount of Olives, where the Saviour often prayed with His disciples. It is attributed to the Theotokos since it is believed that the Apostles gathered at this location and buried the most-pure body of the Mother of God. Her icon remains there as an endless spring of blessings for all the Christians, celebrated (or venerated) by the name “Panagia Ierosolimitissa.”

A great fighter against the iconoclasts, St. John Damascene was accused of being an enemy of the state in which he lived, and as punishment, the Caliph ordered that one of his hands be chopped off. Afterwards, St. John took the severed hand, prayed in front of the icon of the Theotokos and fell asleep. The Theotokos wrought the miracle of re-attaching the dead hand of her servant and bringing it back to life. When he awoke, he found that his hand was completely healed.
In honor of that healing, he made a silver votive offering in the shape of a hand and placed it on the icon in such a way that it appears that the Virgin Mary has a third hand.

Peter and Paul represent two strikingly different approaches to discipleship. Peter had to learn slowly, make many mistakes along the way, but always experienced the compassionate forgiveness and encouragement of Jesus. Paul, on the other hand, came to the Faith immediately and never backed away from his zeal for Christ after that. Many of us can see both these great Apostles in ourselves. Like Peter, we sometimes fail but yet persevere. Like Paul, we must always be on fire for the Lord, and proclaim Him to everyone and in every situation, no matter how difficult it can sometimes be to do so.
Very nice gift to a man, to a special friend, to a husband, father, grandfather, brother, father-in-law, boss, business owner or any special one you have.

Saint Kyprianos was born in Antioch, in the late of the 3rd century A.D. He was a magician, serving the Satan for years, doing bad to other people, by using the evil power. He became Christian after he realized that he was deceived by Satan for all those years he was serving him. Really regretful, with pain in his heart and tears in his eyes for the evil he had done to others, he was praying everyday to God to forgive his sins.
God, the Philanthropist God, The God of the Forgiveness, listened to his prayers, saw that he really had regret and forgived him for his great sins. He let him become Bishop of a town close to Antioch city and later on Saint Kyprianos became a martyr. He sacrificed his life by not denying he was a Christian.
Around 304 A.D. in Nikomedeia where the king was Diocletean, Saint Kyprianos and Saint Justina were beheaded for their faith in Jesus Christ because they did not alter their faith to become idololatres. Thereafter the Orthodox Christian Church has proclaimed both Kyprianos and Justina Saints.
A unique antique look icon that is suitable gift for any occasion or for those people that have great faith as Christians. Create lasting memories to anyone who owns such a unique icon.
