This Orthodox icon, dated 1700, depicts three prominent figures of Eastern Christian asceticism: Onuphrius, Stylianos, and Simeon Stylites. Stylianos holds a child, a common image associated with this saint who is known for his miraculous healing powers. Onuphrius is seen standing next to a baptismal font, highlighting his role as a hermit and spiritual guide. Simeon Stylites, known for his life of extreme asceticism, stands to the right, marked by his long white hair and beard. The icon's style is characteristic of Orthodox iconography, with a focus on symbolism and spiritual representation.
