Αγία Υπομονή

Agia Hypomonia, in name only Eleni Dragasi, is estimated to have been about 19 years old when she married Manuel II Palaiologos (late 1390), a few months before he became Emperor. She was worthy of her philosopher and philochristian husband.
They had eight children, two of whom ascended to the imperial throne, John VIII and Constantine XI, the last legendary emperor.
She had a special love for the monasteries. After the death of her husband, she became a nun (1425) in the Monastery of Martha, under the name of Hypomion.

Άγιον Μανδήλιο

The icon of the miraculous and miraculous relic of Saint Mandelius of the I. Monastery of Agia Triada – Agios Nektarios in Aegina, is of great interest mainly because of its calligraphic inscription in the lower right section, which classifies it as a work of historical importance. According to the inscription, the work in question was donated to “His Grace Metropolitan Nectarios of Pentapolis” in memory of his visit to the famous iconographic house of the Iosafaia on Athos in 1898.

Παναγία Ρόδον το Αμάραντον

The icon of the enthroned Theotokos is kept in the church of Saint Athanasius in Trilofo, in the municipality of Mikra, Thessaloniki and dates back to 1865 according to the inscription on its lower part. The work is signed by the well-known icon painter Dico from the village of Tresonce and is the product of an artistic workshop active in the 19th century centred on the town of Debar in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

Παναγία Ιβηρίτισσα

The icon of Panagia Iberitissa faithfully copies the type of the most ancient miraculous icon of Mount Athos, the icon of Panagia Portaitissa of the Holy Monastery of Iviron, which tradition attributes to the paintbrush of the evangelist Luke himself.
