Saint Arsenios of Cappadocia was a prominent Orthodox monk and spiritual leader from the 20th century. Born in 1900 in Cappadocia (modern-day Turkey), he spent much of his life in monasticism, where he was known for his asceticism and deep prayer life. In addition to his ascetic practices, Arsenios was gifted in spiritual guidance, helping many people with their spiritual struggles. He often emphasized the importance of faith, prayer, and repentance. He was canonized in 1986.
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.
