The miraculous icon of the “Brzopomoćnica” (Quick Helper), with its model dating back to the 10th century, is located in the Dohiari Monastery on Mount Athos. It is one of the most venerated icons of the Most Holy Theotokos on Mount Athos (along with the “Portaitisa” in Iviron, the “Dostojno Yest” in Vatopedi, and the “Trojerečica” in Hilandar). The well-known miracle involves a monk named Nil, who went blind due to negligence, but through great repentance, he regained his sight before the icon of the “Quick Helper.”
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.
