St. Alexander Nevsky.

                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.
                Engraved and lithographed on jewelry-quality brass plate and certified for authenticity by the St. Petersburg Church Council. Produced at the Efremov Institute in St. Petersburg by a group of talented artists using a great deal of meticulous and difficult to execute labor. 2" x 1 1/2". [#IC-NVSKY].
