St. Demetrius the Great Martyr of Thessaloniki (c. 270-306) was a young Roman commander in Thessaloniki who publicly confessed Christ and brought others to the faith, for which, by order of the emperor, he was pierced with spears in prison. Together with St. George, he is the most venerated holy warrior of Orthodoxy; in this icon he is depicted on a red horse with a spear - a defender of the faith and his people.
For the myrrh (fragrant oil) that flowed from his relics he was named the "Myrh-streaming." For centuries Thessaloniki has honoured him as its heavenly protector, and the Serbian people love him dearly - many families celebrate Mitrovdan as their krsna slava. His feast day is 8 November. Made in book form, the icon folds and is easy to carry. The faithful pray to him for protection, courage and help in struggle.
