Saint Seraphim of Sarov praying. Wooden orthodox icon

Icon of St. Seraphim of Sarov praying in the forest

The Monk Seraphim of Sarov, a miracle worker, who bore the name Prokhor before his tonsure, was born on July 19, 1759, in a pious merchant family from the city of Kursk. 

The Monk Seraphim provided spiritual guidance based on the Sacred Writings and the sayings of the pious ascetics of Orthodoxy. His holy life was marked by reverence for martyrs and edification of schismatics. In 1833, he passed away while in prayerful reverence before the icon of the Mother of God "Tenderness", to which he had constantly prayed.

The icon is made by printing on a wooden board. Paints are mineral, do not fade with time. The thickness of the board is 2 cm. The board is covered with primer by hand. The image is covered with wax. Each icon has a metal mount on the back side so that you can hang the icon on the wall.

You can buy the icon in three sizes:

• 13 х 12 centimeters (5,1 x 4,7 inches)
• 19 х 17 centimeters (7,5 x 6,7 inches)
• 26 х 23 centimeters (10,2 x 9,1 inches)

Our icons are made by Orthodox craftsmen. You can read more about the technology here.

We hope it will be a good gift for you and your loved ones.
