"War broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon-and the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old called the Devil and Satan." Since the earliest days of Christianity, the faithful have turned to Saint Michael as their defender against adversity and evil in all its forms. This popular icon reminds us that someone is watching over us.

Since 1981 the works of iconographer Brother Simeon Davis have inspired a renaissance in sacred Christian art in America. His unique combination of classic style, radiant and fresh colors, and English text has touched the hearts of Christians looking for traditional style iconographic artwork of their most beloved sacred themes. His work now adorns churches, homes, and schools throughout the world, where the faithful have found them “a joy to behold and an invaluable aid in encouraging holiness,” as Father David L. of Washington writes.

Since we began offering reproductions of the Monastery Icons collection in 1981 it has been a challenge to reproduce the gold leaf backgrounds of our original icons. But a new photo technology called Lumina Gold has solved this problem.

Not only does Lumina gold restore matching simulated gold leaf backgrounds to all our icon plaques and prints, but has the added benefit of producing deeper, richer colors and sharper detail – a stunning transformation that brings all our icon panels closer to the vivid beauty of our original paintings.
