Icon on natural mother-of-pearl "Guardian Angel" with gold leaf

At birth, each person finds his Heavenly patron, a guardian angel who protects his body and soul. Even in the most difficult situation, you should know that an angel is nearby and ready to help — it is only important to turn to him with prayer. That's what the Angel icon is for.

The icon of the Guardian Angel is often painted personally for a person, and is often presented as a gift at the birth of a child. This image stays with a person forever, accompanies him throughout his life, and becomes his patron.

The Guardian Angel icon is used when they want to send a petition to God. Before the image, they often ask for protection from evil forces, for support in worldly affairs, and for achieving any goals. It is believed that prayer before the Guardian Angel has great power, since this saint always hears the worshipper and never ignores requests.

One prays at the Angel's image in the morning and evening, as well as before leaving home. Such prayer allows you to tune in to the right mood and establish close contact with the sublime world. The icon is usually placed in the corner of the room, facing east.

The icon can be placed on the table or hung on the wall, there is a special hole on the leg.
