 Our Description

This icon is part of a modern, vibrant series of icons produced by the Benedictine iconographers of Conception Abbey, one of the largest and oldest Benedictine foundations in the U.S. Proceeds from the sale of these icons go to support both the abbey community of monks and the formation of candidates for the priesthood who are studying at Conception Seminary College. These beautiful icons are mounted on a wood base in the traditional style of the Christian East.

 General Description:

Unlike most icons of our order's patron saint which portray him as a rather grumpy looking old man, this one shows him at a younger age, abbot's staff in one hand and his famous rule in the other, accompanied by a raven and thorn bush, symbols of his life as a hermit in Subiaco.
