In the depiction of the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos Svecarica, she is often shown in the attire of an Empress, emphasizing her Divine glory and importance in Christian theology. The icon of the Theotokos of Heaven serves as an encouragement for believers to turn to the Theotokos in difficult times, seeking comfort and assistance. The miraculous icon of the Mother of God—Queen of Heaven—was painted in the 17th 17th century and is located in the Vatopedi Monastery on the left side of the Cathedral church.
A triptych is a work of art composed of three connected parts, most often painted or carved, which together form a single whole. In Christian art, especially in the Middle Ages, the triptych was used as an altarpiece or part of an iconostasis.
The central part is usually the largest and depicts the main scene—most often Jesus Christ, the Holy Theotokos (Mother of God), or saints of our Church.
The side panels are foldable and typically feature saints, angels, or the Lord and the Theotokos.
It is practical for transport, which made it popular in the Middle Ages among traveling believers and priests.
Our triptych is made from the finest pieces of ash wood, using icon-painting craftsmanship inspired by Byzantine and medieval originals.
It is produced by metal casting and careful hand-finishing, enriched with 24-karat gold and 925 silver.
It is painted with epoxy resins and decorated with zircons.
If you wish to give your triptych as a gift, you can also choose a ceremonial gift box.
The dimensions of the triptych are: 220x255x32 mm.
