Icon of Saint Sergius of Radonezh, Venerable Abbot, with Scenes from His Life
This Orthodox icon depicts Saint Sergius of Radonezh, one of the most beloved Russian saints, shown in the traditional monastic schema with scroll in hand and surrounded by narrative scenes from his life (житие). This composition follows the classic form of “icons with vita,” where episodes of the saint’s miracles, ascetic struggles, and holy deeds encircle his central portrait.
Saint Sergius (†1392), the founder and abbot of the Holy Trinity Monastery—today the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius—was renowned for his deep humility, constant prayer, and spiritual wisdom. He played a crucial role in the revival of Russian monasticism and became a unifying spiritual figure during a difficult period of national history. His blessing of Prince Dmitry Donskoy before the Battle of Kulikovo became a symbol of courage, faith, and divine protection.
This icon captures the peaceful, grace-filled presence of the saint: his calm face, gentle gaze, and prayerful posture invite the viewer to quiet contemplation. Around him, the narrative scenes illustrate key moments of his earthly ministry—his childhood miracles, monastic labors, encounters with angels, and the spiritual guidance he offered to disciples and rulers.
An icon of Saint Sergius is traditionally kept in homes as a symbol of peace, humility, family unity, and spiritual strength. It is especially cherished by those seeking wisdom, guidance in prayer, and help in cultivating love and harmony.
Original icon: mid-17th century, Yaroslavl Art Museum.
