Saint Dimitrios Icon

Feast Day

Agios Dimitrios was the son of a wealthy military commander of Thessaloniki and received a good education as a child. He also joined the army and became an officer. When he was young, he decided to secretly become baptised as a Christian, something forbidden in those years, when gods were still worshiped. 

Dimitrios refused to do so and revealed his faith. He was asked to change his religious beliefs but refused once again and expressed his disgust for idolatry. Therefore, he was sent to prison, was tortured and died for God. Before he died, he donated all his wealth to the poor. His bravery and sacrifice made him an Orthodox Saint. 

Agios Dimitrios became the Patron Saint of the city of Thessaloniki in 1912, during the First Balkan War, when the Greek army entered the city of Thessaloniki on his name day (October 26th) and delivered the city from the Turks. 

Our Monogram Atelier Icon Collection is exclusive to Miss Ble Blu and lovingly crafted in Greece by skilled artisans. Each icon is handmade with faith, intention, and purpose, offering a 3D visual effect that beautifully blends tradition with modern elegance.

More than a piece of art, every icon is a spiritual expression, often embraced with holy water as a symbol of strength and devotion. Designed by siblings Nectaria and Spiros, Monogram Atelier was born from a deep love for Orthodoxy and a desire to bring minimal, distinct iconography into modern sacred spaces.

These icons are authentically Greek, combining timeless religious symbolism with clean, contemporary design. Perfect for your home, church, prayer corner — or as a meaningful gift for someone you love.
