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 St Patrick of Ireland (also known as Padraig, Patricius), honored in both the Orthodox and Catholic Church as the Apostle and Enlightener of Ireland. He is shown in episcopal vestments, often holding a Gospel or cross. In some depictions, he holds a shamrock, symbolizing how he explained the mystery of the Holy Trinity to the Irish people.

St Patrick’s mission in the 5th century led to the conversion of much of Ireland, the establishment of churches and monasteries, and the growth of a vibrant Christian culture. His icon represents missionary zeal, spiritual courage, and faith that enlightens nations.

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