Orthodox Icon St. Demetrius and Mary of Egypt
The Orthodox icon of the Holy Great-Martyr Dmitry of Solun and the Holy Venerable Mary of Egypt depicts two Saints, each with its own meaning and symbolism:
1. The Holy Great-Martyr Dmitry of Solun:
– Protector of warriors and military leaders: St. Dimitri of Solunsky is considered the protector of the military and all those who serve in the military. His prayerful help and intercession is often sought by the military and their families.
– Healer of diseases and speedy helper: St. Dimitri is also known as a healer of diseases and speedy helper in difficult situations. The faithful turn to him with prayers for health and protection in adversity.
2. St. Venerable Mary of Egypt:
– Symbol of repentance and spiritual renewal: St. Mary of Egypt spent most of her life in a life of sin, but after meeting an icon of the Mother of God, she turned and devoted herself to repentance and spiritual life. Her life serves as an example of how through sincere repentance and turning to God one can change one’s life.
– Protector of those who seek repentance: St. Mary has become an intercessor and symbol for those who seek repentance and spiritual renewal. Her image reminds us of the importance of humility and sincere repentance before God.
The hand-painted icon of the Holy Great-Martyr Demetrius of Thessalonica and St. Mary of Egypt unites the two Saints, each calling for faith, repentance and intercession before God. This icon is often sought by the faithful to pray for protection, healing and spiritual growth.
