Saint John the Baptist / Άγιος Ιωάννης ο Βαπτιστής

This striking Orthodox icon depicts Saint John the Baptist (Άγιος Ιωάννης ο Πρόδρομος), revered as the Forerunner of Christ and the last of the prophets. Shown in the traditional Byzantine style, Saint John appears with angelic wings, symbolising his divine mission as the messenger who prepared the way for the Lord.

In his hands, he reverently holds a chalice containing the head of Christ, a powerful theological symbol representing sacrifice, prophecy, and repentance. The scroll he carries bears the call to repentance, reminding the faithful of his role as the voice crying out in the wilderness.

Printed on natural stone, the icon’s textured edges and warm golden tones give it an authentic, timeless presence, making it ideal for a home prayer corner, religious table, or sacred space.
