Saint Xenia of Petersburg Orthodox Icons
Our workshop paints Saint Xenia icons by hand in the traditional Orthodox manner. The image is prepared as a sacred icon, not as a decorative portrait: the face, garments, inscription, background, and overall composition are painted with respect for Orthodox iconography. You can choose a small personal icon, a medium icon for a family prayer corner, or a larger custom icon for a chapel, parish room, or Orthodox community.
When people choose an icon of Saint Xenia
as a patron saint or nameday gift for someone named Xenia or Ksenia;
for a home prayer corner connected with family concerns, patience, and consolation;
for someone who values the witness of blessed foolishness for Christ;
as a respectful Orthodox gift for a person going through grief, uncertainty, or a difficult season;
for churches, chapels, parish rooms, and Orthodox communities where Saint Xenia is especially venerated.
Iconography and materials
Saint Xenia is often shown in simple clothing connected with her life in Petersburg, with a calm and prayerful expression. A hand-painted icon can be made on a prepared wooden board with a painted background or gold leaf. The format can be modest and intimate for private prayer or more solemn for a church or chapel.
For a deeper explanation of the saint, her iconography, and how to choose an appropriate format, read our article: Saint Xenia of Petersburg icon: meaning and how to choose.
Custom order
If you need a particular size, inscription, background, or gift format, we can discuss the details before painting. For broader selection, see our main section of Orthodox icons of the saints.
