(Nevan “She Who is Quick to Hear”) is a particularly venerated copy of the miraculous Athonite image. This is a unique type of icon, not found anywhere else in the Orthodox East. In terms of its iconography, the “Nevskaya Skoroposlushnitsa” differs significantly from the well-known Athonite icon of the Mother of God “Skoroposlushnitsa.” In the Nevan image, the Mother of God is depicted without the Christ Child, with her prayerfully outstretched right hand, noticeably larger in size, symbolizing Divine help. It is difficult to say what prompted these iconographic changes. However, there is a tradition that the image was painted “according to a dream vision seen by a monk of the Holy Mountain.”
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.
