SAINT DIMITRIUS

Saint Dimitrius, the great martyr, placed God’s commands before imperial ones, sealing his loyalty to God and love for Him and His Church with his life. Confessing Christ and expecting suffering upon the return of Emperor Maximian, he gave all his possessions to the poor. Already in prison, he blessed the great martyr Nestor for his struggle and suffering. The Lord rewarded this soldier of Christ with abundant myrrh-flowing relics. After the persecution of the Church ended, Christians built a chapel above Saint Dimitrius’ tomb in Thessaloniki in his honor.
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.
