Orthodox Icons of Peter
Name icons are especially meaningful for people whose names coincide with the names of Saints. An icon of Peter can be given as a gift on a name day, as well as on birthdays and other spiritual and life events, such as the consecration of a dwelling or a wedding. It can also be purchased for personal worship and prayer.
Icons dedicated to the name Peter have a special significance in the Orthodox tradition and are an object of veneration and prayer. St. Peter the Apostle, the first of the disciples of Jesus Christ, plays an important role in Christian history and is considered one of the great saints.
Icons dedicated to the name Peter usually depict the Saint himself. He may be represented with distinctive features – a gray beard, a manly face, and a fishing net, as Peter was a fisherman before his calling as an apostle. Sometimes the icon also features a key, which symbolizes the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven, which, according to the Bible, Jesus handed to Peter.
On the icons dedicated to the image of Peter, you can also find the image of Saints Peter and Fevronia of Murom. Saints Peter and Fevronia are popular patron saints of family happiness, love and fidelity. Their story is connected with a beautiful legend about their love and devotion to each other, their family life and their common desire to live in faith and piety.
Icons of the name Peter represent faithfulness, courage and leadership in the Christian faith. They remind believers of the importance of service and devotion to God. Believers turn to St. Peter with prayers for help, intercession, blessing and guidance in their spiritual life.
