  • Zoögraphou: According to tradition, the founders of the Athonite monastery now called Zoögraphou had difficulty agreeing on a name and patron saint for the community until an ikon of St. George miraculously painted itself. (Zoögraphos means "painter".) Later, some monks of Lydda in the Holy Land came to Athos fleeing the persecution of Hakim; they reported that an ikon of St. George in Lydda had gone blank on the very day of the miracle at Zoögraphou.
