St. Gregory the Great
Pope St. Gregory I (Latin: Gregorius I (Magnus) (Italian: Gregorio I); c. 540 – 12 March 604), better known in English as Gregory the Great, was pope from 3 September 590 until his death. Gregory is well-known for his writings, which were more prolific than those of any of his predecessors as pope.
He is also known as Gregory the Dialogist in Eastern Orthodoxy because of his Dialogues. For this reason, English translations of Orthodox texts will sometimes list him as “Gregory Dialogus”. He was the first of the popes to come from a monastic background. Gregory is a Doctor of the Church and one of the six Latin Fathers. He is considered a saint in the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. Immediately after his death, Gregory was canonized by popular acclaim.

Are you going to make this icon available as a mounted print?
Thanks!

I certainly can. As I mentioned on the Mounted Prints page Most of the icons on this site can be made into mounted prints, but we generally make prints in large batches. I would be happy to add it to the list of prints to be mounted the next time we make a batch.

Dear Matthew,
I am also interested in having this icon mounted for my son Gregory. His Grandfather, and Orthodox priest now but at the time and Episcopal priest gave him this Saint’s name at birth. Gregory is now 28 and I have been unable to find an icon that I believe is truly beautiful as this one is. Please let me know if and when you decide to make a new batch of mounted prints. Thank you so much. Mary
