St. Innocent (1797–1879), born Ivan Veniaminov, was a pioneering Orthodox Christian missionary, linguist, and the first bishop—and later, metropolitan—of the Russian Orthodox Church in North America. Known for his tireless work among the native peoples of Alaska, he translated liturgical texts and the Scriptures into local languages, fostering a deep spiritual and cultural connection. His writings on Orthodox theology and missionary work remain widely respected. He is often depicted holding a Gospel and a cross, symbolizing his role as both teacher and shepherd of Christ’s flock.

This Orthodox icon of St. Innocent is ideal for personal devotion or as a gift celebrating faith and mission. It can be displayed on a wall or placed on a flat surface, offering a visual reminder of the power of perseverance, humility, and the spreading of the Gospel to all nations.
