Saints & Patron Saints – Gifts with Personal Meaning
In Orthodox tradition, every believer has a patron saint – a saint whose name they bear and who protects them throughout their life. The saint's day is celebrated as their name day – often more important than their birthday. Our gifts featuring images of saints are therefore not merely decorative, but a symbol of love and connection to the patron saint . Whether it's Saint Nicholas for protection, Saint Tatiana for wisdom, or Saint Matrona for hope – each piece carries a spiritual message that touches the heart and soul.
Personalized spoons & gifts for your patron saint
A particularly beautiful tradition is the so-called name spoons (Russian: "Ложка именная") – finely crafted silver spoons bearing the image of the saint whose name the recipient bears. They are given as gifts for baptisms , name days , or as a memento of the patron saint and are considered personal symbols of blessing.
