Saint Arsenios of Cappadocia, was born Theodorus Annitsalichos in a Cappadocian Christian village, became an orphan at a young age and was raised by his aunt. Educated in Niğde and Smyrna, he learned multiple languages alongside theological studies. At 26, he became a monk in Caesarea and was given the name Arsenios and was later ordained a priest and archimandrite. Secretly, Saint Arsenios taught Greek in the Ottoman-ruled Farasa. Revered as Hadjiephentis after his pilgrimage to the Holy Land, he became a true spiritual guide known for miracles of healing. He would be the one to baptize Saint Paisios as an infant naming him after himself and foretelling that the child would grow to likewise follow the angelic life. Saint Arsenios would lead his community to Corfu during the great population exchange. The Saint of God predicted the end of his earthly life, reposing within three months after safely escorting his people to their new home. He was glorified in 1986 as an Orthodox Saint by the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.


About Our Icons (Print and Mounted):

Theophany Works Icons are handcrafted reproductions, made with prayer and a desire for excellence. Choose from our standard  mounted option on Museum Quality Paper or you may choose to upgrade to Museum Quality Matte Canvas. Both offer a rich print with saturated coloration and are finished with our high-grade UV protection sealant offering a subtle tactile texture that gives our icons a truly authentic feel. Additionally, each Maple-shelled panel is prepared with a painted chamfered front edge as well as a round-over on the back edge to give a shadow box effect when hung on the wall. Our Icons come standard with a sliding key-hole slot on the back which allows for balanced hanging. These beautiful American-made reproductions will be a beloved addition to any home or parish at the fraction of the cost of a hand painted icon.
