Icon painter Katsaros weaves creed into 1986 church works
Elaine notes Byzantine practice forbids depicting God and never signing icons unless the signature means through the hand of God. Elias Katsaros, a 20th century iconographer, signs his work in Greek and may take four to six months per large order. If St John’s orders prophets and church fathers, he’ll paint in his studio then return to Destin to mount in 1986.
