O Lord, your disciple Philip inspired by God, your beloved one and the imitator of your passion, has preached your divinity to the world. Through his intercession and for the sake of the Mother of God, guard your Church and your flock from their enemies, O most merciful Christ our God!

This icon relates an event in the ministry of St. Philip in Asia Minor. A mother came to him with her dead child. He called on the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ and the child came to life. The original Icon is one of two from the life of St. Philip that were installed in October 2002 at St. Philip's Antiochian Orthodox Church, Souderton, PA. The other one is Feeding the Five Thousand.

This icon is by the hand of Nicholas Papas of Greensburg, Pennsylvania.
