St. Alexander Nevsky, Prince of Novgorod, defeated the Swedes in
1240. Two years later, he fought, and defeated, the German Teutonic Knights. He was subsequently canonized in the
14th century by the Orthodox Church. Shown here, angels celebrate in heaven as
the Patron Saint of St. Petersburg stands before the capital
buildings that can still be found there. This icon is reminiscent of
"Lives of" icons which were quite popular. They combined important
aspects: contact through prayer and the veneration of the image and the
opportunity to better understand the life of the saint. |
