Icon "Guardian Angel" (Model 771) STL

The image of the Guardian Angel holds a special place in Christian iconography, dating back to early Christian concepts of heavenly incorporeal powers appointed by God to man during the sacrament of baptism. In Russian icon painting, the established canons for depicting the heavenly patron formed by the 17th to 19th centuries, when icons featuring ornamented frames and elaborate floral patterns symbolizing the Paradise garden became widespread. The angel is traditionally depicted in semi-vestments, with hands crossed on the chest or holding attributes of spiritual protection, such as a cross and a sword. Believers turn to this image with prayers for protection against visible and invisible enemies, deliverance from misfortunes, comfort in sorrows, and guidance on the righteous path.
