About Us

T

he Monastery Icons collection of sacred art is a unique, modern testimony to the timeless ancient, classical tradition of Christian iconography, which has been preserved for a millennium in monasteries and convents around the world. As the contemporary iconographer Photios Kontoglou expressed so well, "Icons raise the soul and mind to the realm of the spirit." These "Windows Into Heaven" with their bright, rich colors and English text are treasured in thousands of churches, schools and homes throughout the world.

Our broad selection of sacred and liturgical arts includes holy gifts for every occasion, sacred art to commemorate your special events, and Monastery Incense is clearly the most popular liturgical incense in America. This unique incense formula was created over decades ago from the most high-quality ingredients from Somalia, Sumatra and Indonesia. Cherished by churches and families everywhere, for its diverse selection of fragrances, our incense burns effortlessly with charcoal and presents a clean burn for Mass or devotion.

Earlier this year Monastery Icons was acquired by Christian Brands from the Sacred Arts Foundation, and we are honored to continue the forty-year ministry to strengthen faith and encourage Christian devotion in churches, schools, and individuals of traditional Christian art. We will continue the collaboration with artists, artisans and craftsmen throughout the world who strive to make Monastery Icons products the highest quality available.

Our customers include Christians of all denominations - Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Episcopalian, Lutheran, and many others. We are glad that all these Christian parishes and individuals find our website and our selection of art to be a source of inspiration.

We thank you for offering us the opportunity to share with you the inspiring beauty of sacred icons, and through our art, gifts and incense to contribute to the spiritual life of your parish and home.
