Saint Archangel Salaphiel Icon

Icon of Saint Archangel Salaphiel | Handcrafted Orthodox Icon

This icon depicts Archangel Salaphiel, one of the seven great archangels venerated in Eastern Orthodox tradition, shown in flight with a censer and a lit candle as symbols of his sacred ministry. His name means "I have asked God," and he is associated with prayer and the thurible. Selaphiel is honored as the heavenly patron of prayer, serving as an intercessor between God and humanity, gently guiding souls toward sincere and focused communion with the divine.

Hanging this icon at home is especially meaningful for anyone seeking to deepen their prayer life. Orthodox Christians often turn to him for help when prayer feels distracted, half-hearted, or cold, and his presence in a prayer corner serves as a quiet reminder to approach God with attentiveness and humility. The image of the censer also calls to mind the offering of prayer as incense rising before the throne of God — a beautiful symbol for any home altar, icon corner, or place of personal devotion. This icon makes a wonderful gift for those beginning a deeper spiritual journey or for anyone wishing to invite greater peace and focus into their daily prayer life.

🖼 Product Features

Each icon in our workshop is made to last a lifetime and beyond. The image is printed with rich, fade-resistant pigment inks on a premium solid-core wood panel — then hand-finished with a natural beeswax coating that deepens the colors, protects the surface, and gives each piece the warm, reverent quality of a traditionally crafted sacred object. A metal hanging hook is included on the back, so your icon is ready to display the moment it arrives.
