His hands are commonly shown holding a prayer rope, symbolizing his devotion to the Jesus Prayer and his life of ceaseless prayer. The icon may also include the Mother of God, as St. Seraphim had a particular devotion to the Virgin Mary, referring to her as the “Joy of all Joys.”
The life of St. Seraphim was marked by numerous miracles and mystical experiences, including his famous conversation with the bear, illustrating his harmony with creation. 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.
