Guardian Angel Orthodox Icons

Choose a hand-painted Guardian Angel Orthodox icon from the Mstyora Icons workshop. Guardian Angel icons are often ordered for baptism, children, home prayer corners, family gifts, travel blessings, and personal prayer.

Each icon is painted by hand on a prepared wooden board using traditional icon-painting materials: levkas/gesso, egg tempera, natural pigments, gold leaf, and filigree or chased decoration when requested. You can choose a finished icon from the catalog or order a custom size and composition.

Features of our Guardian Angel icons

Orthodox iconographic tradition: the Guardian Angel is painted as an angelic protector, often with a cross, sword, prayerful gesture, or other traditional attribute.
Traditional materials: prepared wooden boards, levkas/gesso, egg tempera, natural pigments, gold leaf, and durable decorative work.
Meaningful Orthodox gift: a Guardian Angel icon is suitable for baptism, a child’s room, a home prayer corner, a journey, or a personal family gift.
Custom painting: we can paint full-length, half-length, measured, or specially sized Guardian Angel icons for homes, churches, and chapels.

Guardian Angel icon or patron saint icon?
Many people confuse a Guardian Angel icon with a name saint or patron saint icon. In Orthodox tradition, the Guardian Angel is an angelic protector, while a patron saint is a holy person whose name is connected with baptism or family tradition. If you need an icon connected with a Christian name, see icons of the saints.
