St. Sergius of Radonezh, was a leading figure in the church and public life in 14th century Russia
and founder of the Trinity Monastery, at Sergeiv Posad near Moscow, one of the most
important centers of the Russian Orthodox Church. The monastery is depicted in the background. 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. |

suffering: the Cross, the lance, and the sponge.
