Saint Joseph Icon

This is a premium quality silkscreen icon, handmade with gold leaf on cotton canvas and mounted on solid natural carved wood. Halos, inscriptions, and ornaments are hand-painted, while the image is varnished for long-lasting protection. The icon is ready for hanging, featuring a leather strap on the back, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Iconography & Symbolism
The icon depicts Saint Joseph the Betrothed (also known as Joseph the Guardian of Christ, Righteous Joseph), the protector of the Holy Family. He is shown holding the Christ Child, symbolizing his role as guardian and provider, and a white flower, representing purity, righteousness, and his chaste life dedicated to the service of God’s will.

In Orthodox tradition, Joseph is venerated as the one chosen to protect the Theotokos and the Divine Child. His image reminds the faithful of humility, obedience, and the sanctity of family life.

Above Christ appear the Greek letters IC XC, meaning “Jesus Christ,” and within His halo the cross inscribed with Ω Ο Ν (Omega, Omicron, Nu) – “He Who Is,” proclaiming His divinity.

Feast Day
In the Orthodox calendar, Saint Joseph the Betrothed is commemorated on the Sunday after the Nativity of Christ, together with King David and James the Brother of the Lord.
