Need a cross, chalice, or praying-hands icon that actually looks good on a church website? Christicons is a free, open-source library of 56 hand-crafted Christian SVG icons built for modern digital projects — from parish sites to faith-based apps to ministry slide decks.^1
Every icon ships in both SVG and JSX formats, making it easy to drop them into HTML, React, Vue, Figma, or any other framework. The collection covers a wide range of Christian symbols: altars, Bibles, bishops, churches, crosses (including Orthodox and Tau), the Trinity, rosaries, sacred hearts, and more. Icons are released under the MIT-0 license, meaning they're completely free to use, modify, and redistribute — even commercially — with no attribution required.^2
Christicons was created by Dimitri Conejo Sanz, a Catholic UX/UI designer and frontend developer who also works at EWTN. Dimitri is the founder of Cathopic, a global Catholic stock-photo platform with tens of thousands of images, as well as Holydemia (Catholic courses) and Mater Coeli.^3 His design philosophy — inspired by the clean, developer-friendly approach of Heroicons — brings the same polish to faith-centered iconography that the tech world takes for granted in secular design systems.^1
Why It Matters"In today's digital age, design plays a crucial role in how the Gospel is communicated. Poor or inconsistent visuals can distract from the message."^1
Christicons fills a genuine gap: most free icon libraries have nothing for churches and ministries, while most religious clip-art looks dated. This library gives Christian developers and designers a professional-grade, purpose-built resource at no cost.
