Icons of the Saints

Choose a hand-painted Orthodox icon of a saint from the Mstyora Icons workshop. This category includes icons of patron saints, healers, martyrs, apostles, holy princes, monastics, family saints, and beloved Orthodox intercessors for home prayer, gifts, churches, chapels, monasteries, and iconostases.

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

Frequently asked questions about icons of saints

What is the difference between a Guardian Angel and a patron saint?
A 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 person’s Christian name, choose a patron saint icon. If you want an angelic image, see Guardian Angel Orthodox icons.

Can I order an icon of a rare saint?
Yes. We can paint icons of well-known saints and rare local saints. If you have a reference image, church calendar name, feast day, or old icon example, send it through the request form or by email, and we will clarify the details.

Which saint icons are suitable for a home prayer corner?
The foundation of a home prayer corner is usually an icon of Christ and an icon of the Mother of God. Icons of patron saints, family saints, Saint Nicholas, Saint Panteleimon, Guardian Angels, and other beloved saints can be placed nearby according to family tradition.
