Orthodox icon of Prophet Gideon, Προφήτης Γεδεών.

NOTE: the sizes of the icon are approximate, because of its shape.

Judge of Israel, whose memory is honored by our  Church on September 26. On this day, those who bear the name Gideon celebrate.

Gideon was from the city of Ephrathah in the tribe of Manasseh. He was also called Jerubbaal (= Baal will judge), because he destroyed an altar of Baal and built an altar to Yahweh in its place.

Gideon's calling by God is connected with the raids of the Midianites, who terrorized the Israelite people. Gideon managed to unite the tribes of Manasseh, Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali, and after receiving God's assurance of victory, he launched a surprise attack with 300 men against the Midianite camp, put them to flight, and drove them beyond the Jordan River. The two kings of the Midianites, who had killed Gideon's brothers, were captured and executed.

After the successful outcome of the war, the Israelites asked Gideon to remain their ruler for life, but he refused, saying, "The Lord shall be your ruler." He died at an advanced age and was buried in his hometown. The life and deeds of Gideon are recounted in detail in the Book of Judges (chapters 6, 7, and 8) of the Old Testament.

Gideon is known in the orthodox ecclesiastical hymnography from the miracle of "the dew in the basket" (Judges 6:37-38), where, in order to be convinced of God's intentions to help his people, he asked him to cool a fleece (a ball of raw wool) that he placed on a threshing floor, while at the same time there would be drought around it. God performed the miracle, Gideon was convinced, and he led the Israelites against the Midianites. In ecclesiastical hymnography, the Virgin Mary is likened to the fleece and Jesus to the dew.

Dogs would not even put in their mouth!
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: Large
Toy is rock hard. Have seen toys like that before, but the smell is disgusting. I have 5 dogs, and while this was purchased for one in particular, none of the dogs would chew on it. Only one put it in his mouth, and then immediately spit it out. My dogs are not picky or finicky but none would have anything to do with it. Total waste of money.

Last a while. Will be buying more toys soon.
Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog
Best dog toy I have ever bought. I have three dogs, two at the time I bought this toy. It took them over a year to break through the first layer. The flower comes off first so be careful your dog doesn't swallow it. It still has the second layer so it still looks like a cactus. No stuffing to clean up when they tear into it, which makes it far less messy than other toys. One of my dogs is obsessed with fetch so I use it like a ball inside. The oval shape makes it hard to ensure when it bounces that it will bounce straight. It's bounced into walls and other stuff that I wasn't intending it to hit. Not much of a squeak so I can let them play with it for hours and I don't get annoyed with the noise. Great toy that lasts a while.

Nice Value
Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog
Very cute! Its soft and feels like it is well made. It is a heavier toy and a tougher one. Not a plush toy. I will order again for our older dogs. Nice value for sure!

Great toy for our best boys!
Color: Consuela the Cactus - Large, Size: Large Dog
You can never go wrong with BarkBox toys and this was no exception. Our dogs like toys that have squeakers and that they can tear into. This style of toy fits the bill. The design is cute as well. I’ve had this in the house for months and, while it’s definitely seen better days, it’s still intact and they haven’t gotten to the inner layer. (Not for want of trying.) The perfect type of toy for our fur babies.

Survives 7 months so far.
Color: Christmas Consuela, Size: Large Dog
It is still intact after nearly 7 months of constant play. My blue heeler normally destroys toys in just a few weeks. Consuela has exceeded expectations of survival with an extremely chewy, destruction prone dog.
