The image was presented by an Orthodox Christian in gratitude for the healing of his son. Dionysiou Monastery is also known for the iconostasis, which houses the icon of St. John the Baptist of the 17th century.

The relics and the miraculous icon of St. John the Baptist are kept in the St. Panteleimon Monastery. The miraculous image is the ancestral icon of the Callimakhs, who patronized the Panteleimon Monastery from the second half of the 19th century. For some time the icon was in Constantinople in the church of St. Paraskeva. In 1860, the temple burned down, but the icon survived, after which the Callimachs handed the icon over to the Panteleimon monastery.
