Saint Paisios the Athonite and Saint Euphemia

Hand painted icon of Saint Paisios the Athonite and Saint Euphemia, made in Mount Athos, on natural wood. The icon is delivered in a wooden box.

Saint Paisios the Athonite is depicted along with Saint Euphemia as a reference to the miraculous visit of Saint Euphemia to the cell of Saint Paisios on Mount Athos, on February 26, 1974 (old calendar). Saint Paisios, surprised by the appearance of the Saint, asked her to pray "In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit" to verify that it is her indeed. Then, overwhelmed by her presence, he embraced her feet and Saint Euphemia recounted her life and all the horrible tortures she suffered. Saint Euphemia advised Saint Paisios on some critical issues and then she disappeared.
