The Meaning of the Saint Matthew Icon

Saint Matthew is one of the Twelve Apostles and is honored as the author of the first Gospel in the New Testament’s canonical order. Called by Christ while working as a tax collector, he rose and followed Him.

Matthew’s Gospel presents Christ as the fulfillment of the Scriptures. It preserves the Sermon on the Mount, the Beatitudes, and the risen Lord’s commission to make disciples of all nations.

An icon of Saint Matthew recalls the transforming mercy of Christ. His calling shows that a person’s past does not prevent repentance, discipleship, and faithful service to God.

Shipping & returns

Ships from Boynton Beach, Florida. If anything is not right, you have 30 days from delivery to request a return (unused, in its original packaging), and we send you the return label.

Caring for your icon

Keep your icon out of direct sunlight and away from damp walls and heat. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth, and never use water or cleaning products on the gold leaf. If you keep a vigil lamp or candles nearby, leave space so soot does not settle on the icon.

Having your icon blessed

Many Orthodox Christians bring a new icon to their parish priest to be blessed before placing it in the home. Just bring it with you to church and ask Father after the service.
