His teachings on acquiring the Holy Spirit as the purpose of the Christian life have deeply influenced Orthodox spirituality. The icon captures these elements, inviting the viewer to enter into a space of contemplation and to seek the peace that St. Seraphim found in his love for God and all of God’s creation.
