Holy Family Orthodox Icon
The hand-painted icon of Saints Tsarina Alexandra, Basil the Decapolite, and Ludmila Cheskaya depicts three Saints, each with their own significance and veneration in Orthodox tradition:
St. Tsarina Alexandra (Alexandra Romanovna) was the wife of Nicholas II, the last Russian Emperor. She is considered a righteous wife and mother whose faith and humility during the difficult times of the Russian Revolution served as an example to many. She and her family were canonized as Holy New Martyrs of the Russian Church. Her image on the icon reminds us of the faithfulness of faith in the face of hardship and martyrdom.
St. Basil the Decapolite is a Saint known for his mission in the Decapolis (a region in eastern Syria and northern Jordan) and other eastern areas. He was a renowned healer and ascetic. His worship in the Russian Orthodox Church testifies to the Russian Church’s connection to Eastern Christian traditions.
St. Ludmila of Bohemia was the first known Christian in Bohemia. She converted to Christianity from her grandson St. Wenceslaus and was the first Holy Woman canonized in the Czech Church. Her veneration is also a reminder of the role of women in the spread of Christianity and their ability to inspire others with their faith.
The icon of Saints Alexandra Basil and Ludmila brings together three Saints from different times and places, emphasizing the importance of faith, charity and sacrifice. These Saints serve as models for Orthodox Christians, reminding them of the value of redemption and salvation through faith in Christ and service to their neighbors.
