St Alexander Nevsky Icon

This is a silkscreen reproduction with gold leaf and hand-painted details, crafted according to tradition. It depicts Saint Alexander Nevsky (also known as Aleksandr Nevsky, Aleksander Nevskiy), the 13th-century Russian prince, military leader, and defender of the Orthodox faith. Famous for his victory over the Swedes at the Battle of the Neva (1240) and over the Teutonic Knights at the Battle on the Ice (1242), he is remembered not only as a warrior but as a wise ruler who protected his people and upheld Orthodoxy.

In iconography, St Alexander Nevsky is often shown in princely attire, holding a cross or sword, symbolizing both his Christian faith and his defense of the Russian land.

In the Orthodox calendar, Saint Alexander Nevsky is commemorated on November 23 (main feast) and also on August 30 (translation of his relics). His memory is especially venerated in Russia, where cathedrals and monasteries bear his name.

The icon of St Alexander Nevsky (Aleksandr Nevsky) is a meaningful gift for those of Russian heritage, soldiers, leaders, and families seeking protection and guidance. It is also suitable for name days, baptisms, and new homes, invoking the intercession of a saint who united courage with faith and loyalty to Christ.
