Saint Gregor Palamas 

This icon depicts Saint Gregory Palamas, a 14th-century Byzantine theologian and Archbishop of Thessalonica. The icon, executed in the traditional style of Orthodox iconography, presents a frontal image of the saint with his right hand raised in blessing and his left hand holding a closed book, symbolizing his teachings and writings. His elaborate vestments and the halo surrounding his head further emphasize his saintly status. The icon's background, a rich gold, evokes the divine light and reinforces the sacredness of the subject. The weathered appearance of the icon, evident in the cracks and fading paint, adds to its historical and spiritual significance.
