St. Peter & St. Paul

June 29th
Troparion (Tone 4)
O Leaders of the Apostles and teachers of the world, Peter and Paul, pray to the Lord of all to grant peace to the world and abundant mercy to our souls.

The Apostles Peter and Paul had a confrontational relationship with each other over how to accomplish their common mission of evangelizing the world. Their disputes centered on how Jewish the Church should remain. Their conflict helped to sort out the difference between our natural ethnic identities and our unity as the people (ethnos) of God. They are portrayed together as often as they are portrayed individually. This icon shows their unity of purpose in establishing the Church. It is a beautiful icon of overcoming conflicts and living with sometimes difficult and hard to understand people for the sake of the unity of the Church, the Body of Christ.

This Icon is by the hand of an iconographer who wishes to be anonymous*. It is in the refectory at Christ Our Saviour Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Seminary, Johnstown, Pennsylvania.
