Every icon starts as raw birch, cut and shaped by hand before the image ever touches the wood. The design itself is drawn from Orthodox Church tradition, then brought to life by our craftsmen and parishioners in the workshop. Not stamped out, made. Once the icon is finished, we seal it with a Museum Wax layer for depth and protection, then set it into its frame ourselves before it's wrapped and sent on its way to you.

This icon brings together the saints of the British Isles from the earliest centuries of Christian history, men and women whose holiness took root in these lands long before the divisions that would later separate the Christian West from the Orthodox East. Among their number are missionary bishops, royal martyrs, hermits upon remote islands, and abbesses who guided entire communities in prayer, each bearing witness to a faith that flourished upon British and Irish soil within the same undivided Church now honoured throughout the Orthodox world. For those of British or Irish heritage discovering or returning to Orthodox Christianity, these saints offer a particular gift, proof that the faith now embraced is not foreign to these islands but rooted within their own ancient past.

“After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne.” (Revelation 7:9)

O all ye saints of Britain and Ireland, who didst plant and tend the faith upon these shores in ages past, pray to the Lord for the peoples of these islands, that the ancient faith you kept may take root among us once again. Amen.

A meaningful Orthodox gift for baptisms, name days, weddings, and feast celebrations.
