The Meaning of the Saint Luke the Evangelist Icon
Saint Luke the Evangelist is honored as the author of the Gospel according to Luke and the Acts of the Apostles. Scripture identifies him as a physician and a companion of Saint Paul.
His Gospel bears witness to Christ’s mercy, including the parables of the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son. Acts recounts the apostolic preaching of the risen Lord and the spread of the Gospel through the work of the Holy Spirit.
Orthodox tradition also remembers Luke as an early iconographer who painted the Mother of God. His icon brings together the Church’s gratitude for the written proclamation of salvation and its tradition of sacred images.
