The icon depicts Venerable Xenophon of Constantinople and his wife, Venerable Maria, who were noted citizens of Constantinople in the fifth century.

Saints Xenophon and Maria went to separate monasteries and dedicated themselves to God, laboring in silence and strict fasting to receive from God the gift of wonderworking.
