St. Symeon Icon – 24k Gold

An exquisite silver Greek Orthodox icon of the St. Symeon.

Symeon the New Theologian (949–1022 AD) was a Byzantine Christian monk and poet who was the last of three saints canonized by the Eastern Orthodox church and given the title of “Theologian”. One of his principal teachings was that humans could and should experience theoria (literally “contemplation,” or direct experience of God).

Symeon is recognized as the first Byzantine mystic to freely share his own mystical experiences. Some of his writings are included in the Philokalia, a collection of texts by early Christian mystics on contemplative prayer and hesychast teachings.

Made of 950o proof silver & 24k gold on a selected timber frame with the painted parts of the icon painted by hand. Exact reproduction of an antique Byzantine masterpiece.

There is a wide variety of additional silver icons available. Please contact us for more information.
