For everyone who sees the icon of all saints for the first time, it makes a great impression. The significance of this kind of universal image for offering prayers is extremely great, for here the entire Army of the Lord is represented, about which in the “Revelation of John the Theologian” (Apocalypse) it is said that when all the saints (both canonized by the church and those whose feats in the name of faith remained unknown) will worship the Lamb of God (the symbol of Jesus Christ), then the seventh seal will be opened, and the Last Judgment will come.
Most believers are well familiar with the individual icons of all the saints, to each of which we offer prayers, but here you can pray to all of them at once. Moreover, the icon depicts the Holy Trinity - God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove, as well as the Mother of God, archangels, biblical patriarchs, holy passion-bearers and teachers of the church. Each of them is the patron of the person who bears his name, so the prayer to the icon of all the saints will be simultaneously addressed to the Lord, to the Mother of God, and to one’s own heavenly patron.
From the history of the icon of all saints
In Orthodoxy, a special holiday has been established - All Saints' Day, which is celebrated a week after Trinity, and the holiday of Trinity, as is known, is associated with the establishment of the Church. All Saints' Day is celebrated on the first Sunday after Pentecost and serves as a kind of milestone, the completion of the annual liturgical cycle, when the period of chants of the Colored Triodion ends, and the period of Octoechos begins instead.
All Saints Day is also the day of celebration of the icon of all saints
The earliest known icon on this topic dates back to the 10th century. According to the Apostle Paul, the Church of God honors all who have been granted the gift of the Holy Spirit by their life or death for the glory of the Lord. This means that we need to glorify not only the saints we know, but also the unknown ascetics and passion-bearers who remained faithful to Christ even in the face of death.
Christians have revered saints since the earliest period of the spread of Christ's Teachings: apostles, martyrs for the faith, saints, ascetics, rulers who contributed to its establishment.
There is evidence that the Feast of All Saints was celebrated already at the end of the 4th - beginning of the 5th centuries
Apparently, this is connected with the sermon of John Chrysostom in memory of “all the saints who suffered throughout the world.” It is characteristic that the day of celebration was also established by this sermon.
Over the long centuries of Christianity, the number of saints has constantly grown; it also grew in Rus', where its Orthodox saints appeared. Therefore, in the middle of the 16th century, the celebration of the Council of All Saints, who shone in the Russian land, was established, timed to coincide with the second week after Pentecost. During the synodal period it was forgotten and restored only in 1918, when the period of persecution of the church began. Since 1946, it has been solemnly celebrated again, as is the icon dedicated to the saints of the Russian Land.
How does the icon of all saints help?
Every Orthodox family has icons of saints along with images of the Savior and the Mother of God. Often they exist in places where they have not yet come to the Orthodox faith, but “just in case” they keep icons of saints as their heavenly intercessors. People pray in front of such icons in difficult life situations, turning their prayers to the Lord through them.
Imagine what power the icon of all saints must have!
But before you make your requests, begin your prayer with glorification, because here are collected images of all the martyrs who suffered for the Faith of Christ, but did not renounce it
Prayer to the icon of all saints helps strengthen faith, gain perseverance in the face of enemies and during periods of difficult life trials.
If you do not have an icon of the saint whose name you bear, you can turn to him in front of the icon of all saints, since he is among them, tell him your needs for healing, family problems associated with the birth and raising of children.
All Saints' Day is celebrated on the first Sunday after Pentecost
Prayer to the icon

I would like to say thanks to the person who compiled this article. There are a lot of icons, and if you don’t go to church all the time every day, if you don’t have a grandmother who can pass on such knowledge to you, then it’s quite difficult to figure it out on your own. Therefore, I will save this article as a bookmark and will gradually read about each icon, its history, the saint, who to ask for what. I am slowly instilling this knowledge in my children, so that the photos and meaning of the icons of all the saints are always before the eyes of Orthodox believers and they don’t have to blush in church because they don’t know some saint...
THUS SAITH THE LORD... GOD IS THE JUDGE OF THE LIVING AND THE DEAD...!
IDOLATRY - (WORSHIP..., - ICONS, RELICS AND OTHERS

GOD, PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE..!
For.., so says the Lord..!
“If anyone lies with a man as with a woman,
THEY BOTH DID AN ABOMINATION..!
Let them be put to death, their blood is on them”, says
Lord..!
(Leviticus 20:13).
“IDOLATTER..,” burns part of the tree in fire, the other

And from the remnants of it he makes... - his idol, worships
him, prostrates himself before him and prays to him, and says: “Save
me, heal me..!
(Isa.44:12-21).
“They (idol worshipers...) do not know and do not understand!
And he won’t take it to his heart, and he doesn’t have so much
knowledge and meaning to say:
“I burned half of it in the fire and baked bread on its coals,
fried the meat and ate it; and from the remainder thereof,
WILL I DO AN ABOMINATION?..?
“All of them (idol worshipers...) will be put to shame and

(Isa.44:18-21).
“Those who carry their wooden idol are ignorant,”

Lord..!
(Isa.45:20-25).
DID I NOT STRIKE YOUR FATHERS FOR THIS ABONY?
WORSHIP OF IDOLS IS FOR THE DECILATION OF THE SACRED..!
For IT IS NOT SAID...(IN THE SACRED - BIBLE..., - CANON -

Hold firmly in your souls that you have not seen any
images of any idol representing a man or

(Deut. 4:15-17).
Idols of the gods... - burn with fire; don't want to take it for yourself
silver or gold that is on them, so that it is not for you

(Deut.7:25,26).
“For I am the Lord your God, a jealous God for the iniquity of the fathers

(Deut. 5:6-12).
“Whoever turns away his ear from hearing the law, his prayer is

(Proverbs 28:9)
BUT, THE CHILDREN DID NOT LISTEN TO THE JUDGMENTS WITH WHICH I STRIKED THEIR FATHERS

“Leave them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind; what if the blind man leads

(Matt. 15:14).
And for these things... - abominations - for the worship of idols - (icons,

“The law of the Lord is perfect, strengthening the soul; revelation of the Lord

And therefore.. – every (OTHER...), word or deed

THE TRUE SACRED IS.., – DEFLECTION, – SACRED

After all, even .. - those - (Gundyai is an Atheist .. - head of the Russian Orthodox Church

IDOLATTERS FROM THE ROC MP..., - TRADE THEIR SACRES, -

Under the communists... - who - destroyed churches, burned

But as soon as the power in Russia changed, idolaters from the Russian Orthodox Church
The MP became jealous of their shrines and began to scold the Bolsheviks and
call on the authorities to “imprison” or kill everyone (who, in their opinion,
opinion...), desecrates their shrines - (having nothing in common
with the TRUE shrine of God..., says the Lord...)!
For IT IS NOT SAID IN THE LAW...
"HOLY ICONS", "HOLY RELICS"..!
BUT, IT IS SAID.., “LAW - (CANON...), - HOLY and COMMANDMENT, (in

Isn’t..., - not Gundyai - (Kirill...), AGODESSER, openly, -
before God, heaven and earth and those who live on earth, desecrating
The TRUE holiness is the commandment “Honor your father and mother”
yours,” named the ancestors of the Slavs..,
“Who were the Slavs? These are barbarians, people who speak
incomprehensible language, these are second-class citizens, this is almost
beasts”, said Gundyai - ATHISER...
But who.., if not Gundyai - THE GODLESS, is obliged to know,
that the Slavs are the same descendants of the god-pleaser - Noah
(who has found grace before God.., Gen. 6:8...),
and his children, (blessed - by God.., - Gen.9:1...)as
for example, Jews or Arabs..!
“And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and
multiply and fill the earth..!
“These are the tribes of the sons of Noah, according to their genealogy, among their nations.
From them the nations spread throughout the earth after the flood."..!
Doesn’t Gundyai, an Atheist.., know about this..!?
And you know.., - that the hypocrite and liar Gundyai is an Atheist, -
desecrates the TRUE shrine - mocks your memory
ancestors..!
And no matter what, you - (calling yourself - an admirer
TRUE shrines...), still - evil - (ROC MP..., -
religion that has perverted the teachings of Christ, - plunging you into

And goodness - (the wise men and prophets of God - those who reprove
idolaters from the Russian Orthodox Church MP...), evil..!
THE GREATER..,-YOU WILL SUFFER CONDEMNATION..,SAITH THE LORD..!
Baran..., too, it doesn’t matter who or what says about him
ancestors..!
The ram... - the main thing - is to eat, sleep and produce
light, the same sheep as himself - until he loses his head
cut off..!
And therefore... - Jews and Arabs who honor their fathers - do not
allowing the wicked - FALSE PROPHETS - to mock the memory
their fathers..., - they are fruitful and multiply and fill the earth
And the Slavs, who allow... - the wicked from the Russian Orthodox Church MP -
to desecrate a shrine - to mock the rebellion of the fathers..., - ARE DYING OUT
AND THEY WILL DIE OUT - WHILE EVIL IS - (ROC MP - GUNDYAYA -
AN ATHOTIC - A PERVERTER OF THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST...), WONDERED
For the holiness of God is the commandment...”Honor your father and mother
yours,” with the promise...” that your days may be lengthened, and

And “We learn that we love the children of God from when we love
God and keep His commandments.
For this is love for God, that we keep His commandments;
and His commandments are not burdensome.”..!
(1 John 5:2-4)
“KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS OF LIFE, ORDERED FROM CREATION..!
And, hold firmly in your souls that you have not seen any

(Deut. 4:15-17).
“He who conceals his crimes will not succeed; who
