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 Patrick of Ireland (also known as Padraig, Patricius), the 5th-century missionary bishop who converted Ireland to Christianity. He is shown in episcopal vestments, often holding a cross or Gospel, symbolizing his role as a teacher and evangelist. Sometimes a shamrock appears in his hand, recalling how he explained the Holy Trinity.

Though best known in the West, St Patrick is also recognized as a saint in the Orthodox Church. His icon represents the universality of the Christian message and the sanctification of all nations through the Gospel.

Feast Day
In the Orthodox calendar, St Patrick is commemorated on March 17, the same date as in the Western Church.
