The saint of the same name (of the same name) to your name, that is, your heavenly patron, is the first assistant in your appeal to God. Having an icon with his image in the house, honoring it and praying to the saint imprinted on it, you receive his protection and patronage. The icon helps you throughout your life. Before her, you ask God for intercession in an hour of sorrow and thank your saint for the joy you have experienced, since true joy in the life of an Orthodox person is accomplished, of course, with his assistance through his prayers to the Lord. You turn to the icon for a blessing before a difficult and important task. The heavenly protector will protect you from troubles and troubles, help you avoid actions that are not necessary for your spiritual growth, and also protect you from evil and disease or, if this is not possible, mitigate their impact. Thus, with the Higher guidance, you can live a more joyful and harmonious life and, with constant work in this direction, be healthier and happier.

Nominal icon - a great spiritual value
The need for a constant feeling of God's invisible protection and connection with the Higher World gives rise to the need in us to bring the icon into our home, having determined for it a worthy place in its space. These can be images, the choice of which we are guided by the name given to us at baptism. Also, the saint of the same name, who is especially revered in the family, regardless of the time of the celebration of the name day, is often considered the heavenly patron. A nominal icon has a great spiritual value for a person, since his heavenly patron and intercessor is imprinted on it. It would be good for every Orthodox Christian to have in his house an image of the saint, after whom he received his name. On his memorable day, we, as Orthodox Christians, go to the church for the Divine Liturgy, put candles to his face, and bring flowers.The historically established iconography (that is, the scheme of the image) of the nominal image is as follows: the image can be full-length or waist-high. Sometimes a guardian angel is written along with the saint, the saint can be depicted in prayerful bowing to the Lord or the Most Holy Theotokos, under the Holy Protection of Her or the Image Not Made by Hands. At the same time, we mention that in the home iconostasis there must certainly be an image of the Savior and to the left of Him - the Mother of God. All others are located next to them at the request of the household. Usually the home iconostasis is small - today's dimensions of our dwellings do not always allow us to make it the way we would like. Therefore, if there is not much space for the iconostasis, it is better to choose first of all the namesake images.
Previously, in Russia, a special place was always reserved for icons in the house - the so-called "red corner", where they were located all together, and a lamp or a candle was always lit. At present, with the loss of this tradition, everyone determines the place at their own discretion. It is important to remember that this place should not be located near heating appliances and be away from drafts, since the icon is painted on wood - a natural material and therefore very sensitive to changes in its environment.
Since 1994, Yuri Kuznetsov has painted more than 1,400 icons, most of which are nominal icons. The number of people wishing to have a personal personal icon of the Kuznetsov letter is growing every day. Each icon is unique and has its own unique ornamental and color embodiment. Color and ornament, like hagiographic scenes, symbolically convey the essence of the earthly feat of the saint and the place at the throne of God, which is now established for him by God forever and ever...
Look at the icon of the Blessed Prince Alexander Nevsky. Bright juicy tones. Courageous violet, blue as bright as the sky, scarlet is a sign of beauty and valor, with his left hand he holds a light shield interspersed with pure greenery - evidence not of the desire to attack, but of the defense of the world of his homeland. The nimbus, on the other hand, shines with gold with the same scarlet color - like gold, which is called red. How many tones, how many shades, it seems, otherwise incomparable! However, thanks to a unique technique, they do not cross, do not merge, do not crowd each other, but create a magnificent harmonic chord of line and color. Everything is in it - both a civil feat and a spiritual feat. And how different, but just as expressive, was chosen by the artist for three images of Equal-to-the-Apostles Empress Helena, uniform in canonical execution, but different in palette, only five female saints were awarded this high title! One image is predominantly scarlet hot tones, showing us the impulse of a soul loving the Lord, the other image is made in colder colors, the icon is more transparent, heavenly, for the third icon painter used contrasting blue, scarlet, golden tones - rubies, sapphires and gold. It is clear that the icons were painted for three different individuals, three human souls, each of which needs its own spiritual treatment. And to each of them the saint turns to that side of his Divine fullness, which meets the needs of this particular human soul...
Spiridon is a rare name in Russia today, almost never found, but popular in Hellas, where this amazing Christian saint comes from. However, despite the fact that we are now talking about a nominal icon, I would like to talk about it as an example of Yuri Kuznetsov writing an icon for a specific person. Based on the canonical model, the icon painter nevertheless created an image addressed to a specific person. This female soul - the icon painter created an icon for a woman - sorely lacked external spiritual warmth, some kind of warm evening peace, strengthening in Love. And in this work - she herself spoke about this to the author of these lines - looking at her every morning, she draws the warmth, compassion, support flowing from the image. He feels the prayerful intercession of the icon before God. And now she has a need for a nominal icon. You can also buy ready-made, copied ones - the miracle of the icon as such is also in the fact that their copies do not lose their miraculous effect that heals the heart - what can we say about the amazing Kuznetsov letter! - but intended for a certain person, it is even more healing and effective.
