Monastery/production company Sofrino supplies icon "Plenka" of assorted saints and festivities:

I have bought one in almost A4 format but still the writing is too small for understanding. Is there available explanation of this icon? I guess, it is quite standard icon and so there should be quite standard explanation?

"Plenka" means "skin" or "membrane" in this context and refer to material covering the icon.
The icon itself called "all saints" and depicts major saints in order of their festive days during year. Twelve big sections correspond to months, starting from January. Big caption above the section is month name.
Small captions inside each section contain festive description or saint's name. Red letters on the left are church-slavonic digits - it is a day number in the month corresponding to saint/festive.
