A Legacy of Faith and Wisdom.
Augustine of Hippo is portrayed in his bishop’s vestments, holding a crosier marked with the letter "A" to signify his name and distinguish him from icons of other bishops. In one hand, he carries a writing quill and the book Civitas Dei (The City of God), a cornerstone of Western thought that explores theology, including the suffering of the righteous, the existence of evil, the conflict between free will and divine omniscience, and the doctrine of original sin. In the other hand, a blazing heart reflects his teaching from Proverbs 23:26, 'My son, give me thy heart,' urging devotion over worldly distractions, and his passion to drive heresy from the Church. Framed with rich gold embossing and detailed relief work, this icon celebrates and explains his enduring influence as a Church Father.
