About the icon:
Despite the fact that in Orthodoxy material wealth is not considered the true goal of a person and it is not customary to ask and pray for it, but among those whom the Church considers saints, there is one who is often asked for material assistance and stability. Spyridon of Trimythous is often asked to help with work, with money, with solving housing difficulties and other worldly matters.
But after reading his life, you come to the understanding that Saint Spyridon is asked in many other cases, because in Christianity he is revered on a par with his contemporary - Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker.
