Saint Ephraim / Ὁ Ἅγιος Ἐφραίμ

This Orthodox icon portrays Saint Ephraim , one of the most revered modern saints of the Orthodox Church. Depicted in monastic vestments, Saint Ephraim blesses with his right hand while holding the flame of faith and martyrdom, symbolising his total devotion to Christ and his victorious witness through suffering.

Saint Ephraim was a monk and abbot who endured severe torture and martyrdom under Ottoman rule in the 15th century. His holy relics were miraculously revealed in the 20th century, and since then countless faithful have experienced healings, protection, and divine help through his intercessions.

This icon is especially venerated for strength in trials, healing, protection of families, and comfort in times of distress, making it a powerful addition to any Orthodox home or prayer corner.
