The Monastery Icons collection of sacred art is a unique, modern testimony to the timeless ancient, classical tradition of Christian iconography. In the ancient tradition of Christian sacred art, icons are frequently called "Windows into Heaven," for through them we receive a vision of the spiritual world. Iconography is the original tradition of sacred art in both the Western and Eastern Churches, and began with Saint Luke the Evangelist, who painted icons of the Virgin Mary – a face he himself had seen.

Over the past twenty-years Monastery Icons have been an inspiration to thousands of churches, homes and schools. The online Monastery Icons catalog includes over 170 icons of the most beloved themes of sacred art. We hope you will find them, as did one priest who wrote us, "a joy to behold."

Visit the Monastery Icons website at monasteryicons.com to find a great selection of icons and sacred art in a full range of sizes and formats.
