Larisa Seklitova Contemporary Orthodox Russian Icon, St. John the Theologian. With 24k gold leaf accent.
Saint John the Theologian—also known as John the Apostle, the Evangelist, the Beloved Disciple, and John of Patmos—is recognized as the only apostle to die of natural causes, commonly around the year 100 in Ephesus after a long ministry. Born in Bethsaida as the son of Zebedee and Salome, he was a fisherman alongside his brother James until Jesus called them to become “fishers of men.” He witnessed key events such as the Transfiguration, the Last Supper—where he reclined on Jesus’ bosom—and stood by Mary at the Crucifixion, when Christ entrusted him with her care. Exiled to Patmos during Domitian’s reign, he received the visions recorded in the Book of Revelation, returned to Ephesus, and authored the Gospel of John and three Epistles with profound theological depth, earning him the unique title “Theologian” for his mystical insight into Christ as the divine Logos. Tradition holds that each year on May 8, “manna” dust miraculously rose from his empty cross-shaped grave—an event commemorated in Orthodox liturgy alongside his principal feast on September 26.
Icon Size: 8 1/4 x 11 1/4 in.
