**Saint Kevin of Glendalough Orthodox Embroidered Icon (5x7)**
This embroidered icon celebrates Saint Kevin of Glendalough, a beloved figure in Christian tradition and Irish heritage. Known as one of Irelands most revered saints, Kevin was born around 498 AD into a noble family. Drawn to a life of solitude and prayer, he retreated to the idyllic valley of Glendalough, where he founded a monastic community that became a center of learning and spirituality.
Saint Kevin is remembered for his deep connection to nature and his unwavering devotion to God. Legends tell of his harmonious relationship with animals, most famously the story of a blackbird laying her eggs in his outstretched hand while he prayed. This act of patience and humility symbolizes his deep focus on prayer and his reverence for all of God‘s creation.
The monastic site at Glendalough, often called the “City of God, grew under Saint Kevin‘s leadership and remains a significant pilgrimage destination today. His feast day, celebrated on June 3rd, honors his legacy of faith, simplicity, and care for the natural world.
This 5x7 embroidered icon beautifully captures Saint Kevins gentle and spiritual nature, making it a meaningful addition to any prayer corner, home altar, or collection of religious art. It is a thoughtful gift for those who admire Irish saints, nature-inspired spirituality, or handcrafted devotional pieces.
