Iconography and Symbolism
The Prophet King David Icon (Greek: Ὁ Προφήτης Δαβίδ) depicts the righteous king of Israel, chosen by God and known for his deep faith and repentance. He is often shown wearing royal garments and holding a scroll or a musical instrument, symbolizing his role as the Psalmist, the author of many of the Psalms.

King David united the tribes of Israel and established Jerusalem as the spiritual center of the people. At the same time, he is honored as a prophet because his psalms foretold the coming of Christ. His life reflects both human weakness and sincere repentance, making him a powerful example of humility and trust in God.

The gold background represents divine inspiration and the light of God’s presence. His calm and reflective expression invites prayer, repentance, and praise.

Feast Day
Commemorated on the Sunday of the Holy Forefathers (before the Nativity of Christ) and December 26 (Synaxis of the Theotokos, with the ancestors of Christ).
