Particularities: St. Trifon was a young man who was a gardener and a farmer. He suffered martyrdom very young and this is the reason we depict him with no beard and his hair a bit messy, while in his right hand, he holds the cross to show that he was a martyr and on his left hand, he normally holds a flower or a farming tool.
