John Chrysostom (347-407), Archbishop of Constantinople, shown in our St John Chrysostom Icon, was a notable Christian bishop and preacher from the fourth and fifth centuries in Syria and Constantinople. These saint icons portray a saint famous for eloquence in public speaking, his denunciation of abuse of authority in the Church and in the Roman Empire of the time, and for a divine liturgy attributed to him. After his death, he was named Chrysostom, which means "golden-mouthed." 

This fabulous icon has been created with the technique of lithography and has a double varnish to ensure waterproof and duration in time. The creator of this icon has learned the canonization of iconography in workshops of the Monasteries of Moscow Region, where he was taught both the technique of lithography and the process of handmade artificial ageing.
