Saints are people who have acquired special grace, cleansed from sin. When canonization occurs, that is, the glorification of the saint by the whole church, then his image is necessarily written.

The icons depict: forefathers, prophets, martyrs, saints, saints, blessed (holy fools), righteous, unmercenary, faithful, etc.

People please God in different ways: the Heavenly Father endows everyone with talents in due measure and accepts labors from everyone for His glory, therefore the Church glorifies the saints of God in different faces.

In the iconography of the prophets, there is always an image of a halo as a symbol of holiness and the special chosenness of God; on their heads - prophetic caps or a crown, sometimes they are also depicted with their heads uncovered. The scrolls in their hands contain excerpts from the texts of their prophecies. They are dressed in a tunic and a himation, on the shoulders of some of the cloaks - a cape made of sheepskin.

holy apostles

Lawyers of the word of God, sent by Jesus Christ Himself to all ends of the earth.

On icons, the supreme Apostle Peter is usually depicted with a bunch of keys, which means the totality of the Church Sacraments, which are symbolic keys to the Kingdom of Heaven: “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it; and I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven” (Matthew 16:18-19).

Saints

The saints are patriarchs, metropolitans, archbishops and bishops, who achieved holiness by the purity of their personal lives and became famous for their tireless care of their flock, the preservation of Orthodoxy from heresies and schisms. Among their great host, the most revered in the Russian people are the saints: Nicholas the Wonderworker (December 19 and May 22), Universal teachers Basil the Great, Gregory the Theologian and John Chrysostom (commemorated February 12); Moscow saints Peter, Alexy, Jonah, Philip, Job, Hermogenes and Tikhon (commemorated October 18).

On the icons, the saints are depicted in liturgical episcopal vestments. They may have a miter on their heads - a special headdress decorated with small icons and precious stones, symbolizing the crown of thorns of the Savior (but more often the saints are depicted with their heads uncovered); they are dressed in sakkos - outerwear, signifying the scarlet of the Savior; on the shoulders - an omophorion - a long ribbon-like kerchief, decorated with crosses, which is an obligatory part of the bishop's vestments. The omophorion symbolizes the lost sheep, which the gospel good shepherd carries home on his shoulders.

miracle workers

(literally: the one who performs miracles, Greek θαυματουργός) is an epithet of saints, especially famous for the gift of miracles and intercession in response to prayer to them.

Among miracle workers, St. Nicholas the Pleasant is especially revered. Miracle workers are not a special category of saints, since in principle all saints have the gift of miracles, and witnessed miracles are the main condition for canonization.

Holy martyrs

Holy martyrs are saints glorified by the Church for martyrdom accepted for faith. The martyrs before the new martyrs of our time are the continuers of the apostolic ministry, and therefore the cross is present on their icons. Their iconography actively uses red as a symbol of shed blood for the faith.

Hieromartyrs accepted death in holy orders, and venerable martyrs— in monastic vows.

Confessors

Confessors Those who suffered a lot for Christ, openly professing their faith, endured persecution, torment and torture for this, but survived, avoiding martyrdom, are called the Church.

Unmercenaries

Besrebrenik (Greek ἀνάργυροι) - the face of saints in Orthodox Church, especially famous for their disinterestedness, non-acquisitiveness, renunciation of wealth, generosity for the sake of their Christian faith. The concept of the virtue of unmercenary inherent holiness is based on the unmercenary nature of Jesus Christ. The unmercenaries had the gift of healing and used it free of charge, healing both bodily and spiritual illnesses. Such doctors were, for example, Saints Cosmas and Damian (July 14), the great martyr and healer Panteleimon (August 9), and others.

Blessed (holy fools)

Fools for Christ's sake, taking on the guise of madness, enduring reproach from those around them, denounced human vices, admonished those in power, and consoled the suffering. Among them are St. Basil the Blessed (August 2), Xenia of Petersburg (February 6) and other saints.

Outward madness, combined with the gift of foresight, behavior that goes against the generally accepted, but allows, regardless of faces, to convict sinners and call for salvation through awareness of one's own imperfection and repentance - these are the main features of the feat of foolishness.

The blessed on the icons are depicted in the form in which they performed their feat: naked or with a light bandage on their loins, in shabby clothes, with chains on their shoulders.

Holy righteous

The essence of the name

Why is the image called "The Icon of All Saints"? At baptism, each Christian receives a personal heavenly protector, a patron who protects him for life path and to whom the churched can turn in prayers with any need, request. In honor of this patron, a new name is given to him. However, the icon of All Saints is a universal image, and this is the essence of its name.

Our invisible protectors

Who are they, our invisible saviors? Let's take a closer look at the photo of the icon of All Saints and think about the personalities who look at us strictly and at the same time meekly and compassionately. Saints are people who, even during their lifetime, pleased the Lord with their deeds, firmness in faith and deeds that glorified the Almighty, performed for His glory. After their physical death, they were taken by God to heaven to pray before Him for our intercession.

Hierarchy heavenly

Apostles are those people who personally knew Christ, were his disciples, accompanied the Son of God through the land of Judea, wrote down his teachings.

After the death of their teacher, the apostles went to different parts of the world to preach new knowledge. They also have their own hierarchy. Paul and Peter are recognized as the main, or supreme ones. Evangelists, i.e. compilers of Holy Scripture, are Luke, Matthew, John, Mark. Some saints are equated with the apostles according to the mission they perform. They were not personal disciples of Christ, but in different eras they propagated His teachings. These are the Greek kings Konstantin and Elena, the Russian princes Vladimir and Olga, the Georgian educator Nina.

clan of martyrs

Many of the saints depicted on the icon deserved such a great honor not only because they brought the Light of Truth to the masses, but also suffered severely for it. These include Christian martyrs. Those who endured terrible humiliation, abuse and torture are called great martyrs.

The canonical texts speak of the first martyrs - Christians, that is, those who were the first of the huge number of victims to take the blow of persecution and persecution - Stefan and Thekla. A special place among the saints on the icon is occupied by confessors - Christians who, with their own righteous lives, proved the justice of God's precepts.

People for Christ's sake

These include the holy associates who pleased the Lord with their deeds:

  • This is Nicholas, so respected by both Orthodox and Catholics: endowed with great abilities, he, for the glory of God, worked many miracles, for which he received the title of Miracle Worker. Gregory the Theologian and others called teachers of the Christian Church.
  • Those who have become like God, that is, the reverends - Sergius of Radonezh, Seraphim of Sarov, beloved by all Orthodox people. And to this day, faith in them is strong and unshakable.
  • The righteous are family people who lived according to the laws of Christianity and tried with all their might to keep the covenants of God. These are, first of all, the Old Testament prophets, the parents of Mary, her husband, Joseph, Peter and Fevronia of Murom and many others.
  • Holy fools and unmercenaries who help others morally and financially without payment, without expecting any reward, for Christ's sake: Vasily the Blessed and Mother Matrona, Xenia of Petersburg and others.
