Saint Spyridon of Trimythous, the patron saint of the island of Corfu, was born in Cyprus and was appointed bishop of the city of Trimythous during the reign of Emperor Constantine the Great. Known for the miracles he performed through his prayers during his earthly life, this clairvoyant righteous man was glorified by the Lord even after his death through his incorrupt relics and countless miracles that continue to this day for those who approach him with faith. He strongly supported the condemnation of the heretic Arius at the First Ecumenical Council held in Nicaea in 325.
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.
