Saint Philip II Kolychev, Metropolitan of Moscow. Wooden orthodox icon.
Saint Philip of Moscow (Metropolitan Philip II Kolychev) is honored in the Orthodox Church as a courageous confessor, a peacemaker, and a shepherd who defended truth even at the cost of his life. Born into a noble family, he left the world to embrace monastic life, eventually becoming the abbot of the Solovetsky Monastery. Later, he was appointed Metropolitan of Moscow and All Rus’, where he served with humility, spiritual wisdom, and unwavering integrity.
As Metropolitan, Saint Philip boldly confronted the injustices of Ivan the Terrible’s Oprichnina, calling the tsar to repentance and defending the innocent. For his courage, he suffered martyrdom, becoming a shining example of pastoral love, truth, and moral strength. His holy relics became a source of consolation and miracles for believers throughout the centuries.
This icon of Saint Philip Kolychev depicts the saint in his archpastoral vestments, holding the Gospel—a symbol of his fidelity to the divine truth he preached unto death. The calm, luminous expression on his face reflects his deep inner peace, ascetic courage, and his unwavering faith in Christ. This icon is a profound spiritual reminder of the power of truth, righteousness, and sacrificial love.
