Saint Prohor of Pčinja was one of the luminaries of the southern Serbian lands in the 11th century. He was a contemporary and friend of great Serbian saints like Saint John of Rila and Saint Gabriel of Lesnovo. This prophetic hermit, who predicted to a hunter that he would become an emperor, spent more than 30 years in ascetic life in a small cave on Mount Kozjak near Vranje. Part of his myrrh-streaming relics is still preserved in his monastery, Prohor Pčinja, located on Mount Kozjak.
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.
