Honor the legacy of faith and wisdom with this beautifully crafted Orthodox icon lithography of St. Alexander of Constantinople, commemorated on August 30th, featuring a double varnish layer for lasting depth and brilliance. Handmade artificial aging enhances its timeless beauty, making it a stunning representation of Byzantine hagiographic art.

St. Alexander of Constantinople, venerated as a pillar of Orthodoxy, served as Archbishop during the crucial period of the First Ecumenical Council. His unwavering defense of true doctrine against the Arian heresy and his miraculous victory through prayer - when he commanded Arius to publicly confess his faith, resulting in divine judgment - marks him as a powerful protector of Orthodox teaching. As one of the 318 Holy Fathers at Nicaea, he was instrumental in formulating the Nicene Creed that defines our faith to this day.

This Orthodox icon portrays St. Alexander in his archiepiscopal vestments, holding the Gospel book that symbolizes his role as teacher and defender of Orthodox truth. Whether displayed in your prayer corner or as a treasured gift, it serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of maintaining pure doctrine and trust in divine providence. An ideal addition to any sacred space, this icon honors the saint whose prayers and steadfast faith helped preserve Orthodox Christianity during one of its most challenging periods.
