Where the legend "Only known picture of Saint Paphnutius" is, er, less than accurate. For a _medieval_ depiction of D., see his notice in last year's 'saints of the day' for 25. September, where he's no. 2:

Orthodox churches celebrate P. both today (in his legendary role as the father of St. Euphrosyne of Alexandria) and in late September.
Best,
