St. Lazarus Orthodox Icon
The hand-painted icon of St. Lazarus in the Orthodox tradition usually depicts him as a bishop, according to apocryphal stories that say that after his resurrection Lazarus became bishop of Cyprus.
In icons, Lazarus is usually depicted in episcopal robes, with an omophorion on his shoulders and holding devotional objects such as the Gospel or a pastoral staff. His gaze is usually directed directly at the viewer, and his face reflects peace and tranquility.
In some cases, especially in icons commemorating the raising of Lazarus, he may be depicted outside his episcopal guise. In these icons, Lazarus is usually depicted in his burial clothes emerging from the tomb while Jesus Christ, accompanied by his disciples, points to him, symbolizing the moment of resurrection.
St. Lazarus is a symbol of the hope of resurrection and eternal life in Christianity. His icon serves as a reminder of the mercy and love of God, who has power over life and death.
The faithful pray to St. Lazarus with requests for healing, help in illnesses and protection from death.
