The Meaning of the The Prodigal Son Icon

Christ’s parable of the Prodigal Son, in Luke 15, tells of a son who leaves home, wastes his inheritance, and falls into poverty. Coming to his senses, he returns to his father and confesses his sin.

The father sees him from afar, runs to embrace him, and welcomes him with a robe, a ring, and a feast. His compassion reveals God’s mercy toward those who return in repentance. The elder son’s response also calls us to rejoice when another is restored.

Remembered on a preparatory Sunday before Great Lent, this icon invites repentance without despair and trust in the Father’s abundant mercy.

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.
