Saint John Chrysostom
St. John Chrysostom appears frequently in manuscript illuminations or as the church patron's icon, but is less frequent represented in fresco paintings. The saint may be depicted alone or together with the other Holy Hierarchs. He is represented frontally, standing or bust, as a mature man, short haired, with a tonsure or partially bald. A short beard adorns a narrow face. He is clad in liturgical episcopal vestments, holding the Gospel in his left hand, close to the breast, while blessing with the right.
