Icon of St John the Hermit by goforchris

A favourite of mine, having visited his cave church. This icon shows the saint with his wild hair; his 98 followers are in the bottom right (they died when he did, mysteriously), the farmer shooting him as he crawled about foraging (his legs were stuck with so much praying) in bottom right; you can see him arriving in Crete on his cloak centre right. You can read the whole story here: <a href="http://www.johnsanidopoulos.com/2010/10/st-john-hermit-and-98-fathers-of-crete.html" rel="nofollow">www.johnsanidopoulos.com/2010/10/st-john-hermit-and-98-fa...</a>
