St. Demetrios of Thessalonika
In today’s episode, we commemorate St. Demetrios of Thessalonika, a great warrior saint, who may have never gone to battle during his earthly life (more on that later). Bill shares the story of his passion, and then Bill and Sarah discuss some of his miracles and iconography.
Links to the icons and sources discussed are included below and in the show notes!

St. Demetrios and his city of Thessalonika
Defeating that pesky Bulgarian king . . .
This is an example of the architectural armour seen in many icons of this saint.
