SAINT SERGIUS OF RADONEZH

Saint Sergius of Radonezh, known as the “Abbot of all Russia,” founded the Trinity-Sergius Lavra, which remains the largest Russian monastery and home to the Moscow Theological Academy. His relics rest in the Church of the Holy Trinity, built by his disciple, Saint Nikon of Radonezh, on the site of an earlier wooden church constructed by Sergius himself. His disciples went on to establish over 40 monasteries across the Russian lands. To this day, streams of believers gather daily to visit the Lavra and venerate the relics of this great Russian wonderworker.
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.
