Russian icon s are very popular items among tourists. There are two local church stores that have these items in stock. Certainly nobody expects tourists to share Russian Orthodox faith and these stores do not advertise to tourists. But they make a very nice decoration for the room and bring a new spirit.

Those stores are off tourist’s trails. Icons are NOT antique and without restrictions at border crossing. The icons represent a particular Russian Orthodox saint-patron(s) of a distinct area of living. St George is a patron of the military man; St. Nikolai is a fast helper and protector etc. There are many more and every icon comes with an instruction.

Tell us what area you wish to protect and we will have the icon up on your arrival. Some are hand painted icons and others are professionally manufactured. But regardless of what you choose the church store not a tourist market is the best place to make a selection

One can also order a church service in one of the famous active cathedrals of the St Petersburg: Nikolski or Alexandra Nevski. The services can be order at your presence of in your absence.
