Great Martyr Demetrius (+306) – one of the most esteemed Saints in the orthodox world. He is called Solunsky (Thessaloniki), emphasizing indissoluble communication with Thessaloniki (Thessaloniki) where the Saint has died and after death has become famous for great miracles.
On our icon the great martyr Demetrius is represented striking the khan Mamaya. THe icon is executed in the form of two Russian round boards put together. Between them the sword and military banners are thrust. On the crossing of a handle of a sword on the face it is written: "With us God!" On the back in the center the image of the falcon pecking a snake, – a symbol of a victory of Russian troops over the evil is placed. Around the ligature has written a prayer to St. Demetrius : "The great martyr and Christ's strastoterets, You showed miracles to the world as the sun, Saint Demetrius".
The "aggressive" image of a product has symbolical value. "Great weapon" and "a mutual sword" is the Christ's Cross, and a board strong – strong faith in God.
Memory of the Saint great martyr is made on November 8 (on October 26).
