Description
Saint Peter was an Aleut native of Kodiak Island, Alaska. He was baptized by the monks of Saint Herman's mission. In 1815, while hunting seals, he and several other Aleuts were kidnapped by Spanish sailors and taken to San Francisco. There they were interrogated and threatened by Spanish priests who attempted to convert them to the Latin church. They refused, and Peter was the first to receive torture. His fingers and hands were cut off, and he was finally disemboweled, gaining the martyr's crown.
The other Aleuts were freed soon afterwards and were returned to Alaska. Upon learning of Peter's martyrdom, Saint Herman said, "Holy new-martyr Peter, pray to God for us!" He is commemorated by the Orthodox Church on September 24 and December 12.
Icon by the hand of Georgi Chimev.

St. Peter the Aleut icon
This icon was mailed and received in a timely manner. It was shipped well protected without being over packaged. The icon itself is beautiful and is slightly more colorful (in a good way) than the appearance online.

A Beautiful Saint
I received the icon of Saint Peter the Aleut and it is wonderful! His expression matches the sense I had of him when I read his hagiography. Our church has a number of icons from Legacy icons. You supply very large icons and that is what was needed at St. Thomas. I originally heard about Legacy icons when I listened to Father Barnabus Powell's podcast on Ancient Faith Radio. Thank you for sponsoring this full-of-Life pastor's program!

Great little icon for a corner
I was looking to add to my icon corner and since my patron saint is St. Herman of Alaska, I thought St. Peter would be a perfect addition!
