Saint John of Kronstadt:

The most important thing about Saint John of Kronstadt is his role as the "Priest of All Humanity." He was the first in modern times to call the faithful to frequent Communion, returning the strength of the Early Church to the homes of the people.

Among the Serbian people, Saint John is highly revered as he sent blessings to our rulers and monasteries during his lifetime. The most vital point to understand is that John of Kronstadt in the home represents the symbol of "Prayer-fire." He teaches you that every trouble—whether material or spiritual—is resolved through faith and mercy. When you bring this gilded triptych into your home, you establish an invisible confessor who watches over your family, heals disputes, and reminds you that every Christian house is indeed a "little church" where God is glorified.
