This is a basic set where the theme is giving men inspiration in the good struggle ahead. It was pulled together to give those new to Orthodoxy a means to easily fill out their first icon corner. (Welcome!) Of course you can use this as a starter and add in other icons from the site as well. You can also find other sets built around different themes: most popular icons, universal saints, recent saints, icons with scenes/stories, for women, for a family.
It has the icon of Christ from Sinai, which is the oldest known icon of Christ as Pantocrator in the world. (Pantocrator means “ruler of all.” Any other such icons were destroyed during the iconoclast heresy.) Then it has two icons, one of Daniel the Prophet in the den with lions, and one the martyrdom of the First Martyr Stephen. He is praying God to forgive his murderers. Finally the hauntingly beautiful Vladimir Icon of the Theotokos – in its original form, it was written by the Apostle Luke, making it one of the first icons ever made. By tradition it was painted from life on a board from the table that the Virgin, Saint Joseph the Betrothed, and Jesus at times took their meals.
