An exquisite Greek Orthodox Icon of St. Gerasimos, the patron saint of the island of Kefalonia in Greece.
Gerasimos (1506–1579) was ordained a Monk at Mount Athos, went to Jerusalem for 12 years, spent some time in Crete and Zakynthos and in 1555 arrived on Kefalonia.He is believed by natives of Kefalonia to protect them and to also heal them of illness.
Many natives of the island name their children after Saint Gerasimos as a tribute to the saint who protects them.
Made using traditional materials (selected aged timber frames, egg tempera, 24K gold leaf, natural powder paint and varnishes) and old techniques.The icon bears the artist’s signature on the front and the seal of authenticity on the back.
We can have any image or Christian scene hand made on commission. Please take a look at an indicative list of additional icons available, or contact us for more information.
