The icon of the Most Holy Theotokos “Umiljenje” is connected with the name of the great Russian saint, St. Seraphim of Sarov. This saint spent his entire life under the protection of the Most Holy Theotokos, who appeared to him several times in visions and healed him from fatal illnesses. A special place among his icons was held by the icon in his cell called “Tenderness,” which Seraphim referred to as the Joy of all Joys.
A triptych is a work of art composed of three connected panels, usually painted or carved, which together form a single whole. In Christian art, especially during the Middle Ages, triptychs were used as altar pieces or parts of iconostases.
The central part is usually the largest and depicts the main scene—most often Jesus Christ, the Most Holy Theotokos, or saints of our Church.
The side panels are closable and feature saints, angels, or the Lord and the Theotokos.
Because of its portability, the triptych was popular in the Middle Ages among traveling believers and clergy.
Our triptych is made from the finest pieces of ash wood, combining iconographic craftsmanship inspired by Byzantine and medieval originals.
It is produced by metal casting and meticulous hand finishing, enriched with 24-karat gold and 925 silver. It is colored with epoxy resins and adorned with zircons.
If you wish to present your triptych as a gift, you may also choose an elegant gift box.
Triptych dimensions: 220 x 255 x 32 mm.
