On one face on a green background is depicted Saint Spiridon, wearing a light ochre felon and omophorion of the same colour, edged with a golden braid and decorated with golden crosses, uses his right hand for blessing and with his left hand he holds the golden-cover Gospel closed. The features of his face are made according to tradition, on his head he wears a mitre specific to himself, and around his head he has a golden halo. His name is written in gold in two gold medallions to the right and left of his head. On the back is the scene of the Resurrection of the Lord in Catholic writing, Jesus Christ rising victoriously from the grave holding the Cross in his left hand while offering blessings with his right hand. He is surrounded by a golden almond tree with grey clouds on the edges.
