Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, Bishop of Myra in Lycia. Saint Martyr Agathonicus of Nicomedia and Saint Martyr Justina
This Orthodox icon depicts Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, Archbishop of Myra in Lycia—one of the most beloved and widely venerated saints in the Christian world. The original icon dates to the 19th century and was created in Syzzran, Russia, representing a fine example of Russian provincial icon painting. Today, the original is preserved in a private collection and valued as a work of museum quality.
At the center of the composition, Saint Nicholas is shown in full episcopal vestments, blessing with his right hand and holding the Gospel in his left. His calm and compassionate face reflects wisdom, mercy, and spiritual authority.
Traditionally, Christ appears on one side offering the Gospel, while the Mother of God appears on the other presenting the omophorion. This iconography recalls the miraculous event at the First Ecumenical Council of Nicaea (325), when Christ and the Theotokos restored Saint Nicholas’s episcopal dignity after his imprisonment for defending Orthodox truth.
On the margins of the icon are depicted Saint Martyr Agathonicus of Nicomedia and Saint Martyr Justina, suggesting that this icon may have been commissioned as a name or family icon, honoring personal heavenly patrons.
Saint Nicholas is revered for his boundless mercy, protection of the innocent, help to travelers and sailors, care for children and families, and his swift assistance to all who call upon him with faith. This icon is a powerful prayer image for the home, offering spiritual comfort, protection, and blessing.
