St Thomas Aquinas Icon

This hand-painted Orthodox-style icon is created in Bulgaria using the traditional egg tempera technique on a solid wood panel. Genuine gold leaf is applied by hand, creating a luminous background that reflects divine light. Every detail is carefully hand-painted in accordance with traditional iconographic principles. The icon is varnished for protection, includes a certificate of authenticity, and is carefully packaged for safe delivery with express worldwide shipping.

Iconography and Symbolism
The St Thomas Aquinas Icon depicts the renowned 13th-century theologian and philosopher, honored for his profound contribution to Christian thought. He is typically shown in scholarly robes, holding a book that represents his teachings and writings, most notably the Summa Theologica.

A radiant sun or star often appears on his chest, symbolizing the illumination of divine wisdom and his role as a teacher of truth. His calm and contemplative expression reflects a life devoted to study, prayer, and the pursuit of understanding God.

Although more widely venerated in the Western Church, his presence in iconography highlights the universal value of theological reflection and the harmony between faith and reason. The gold background emphasizes divine light and the eternal truth he sought to express.

Feast Day
January 28 (widely recognized in the Western Church).
