Image description

Prayer icons representing St Christopher, the dog-headed ('Christopher Kynokephalos' in Greek, 'Pesnoglavets' in Russian) were forbidden by the Holy Synod in 1722, but this seems only to have increased their popularity among the 'Old Believers'. The Byzantine depiction of St. Christopher as dog-headed may have resulted from the misinterpretation of the Latin term 'Cananeus' (Canaanite) to read 'canineus' (canine).
