Saint Elizabeth, also known as Yelisaveta of Russia, was an important Russian saint and nun. Born into a German noble family, she married Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich, becoming part of the Russian imperial family. After her husband’s death, she dedicated herself to charitable work and founded the Martha and Mary Convent in Moscow. Arrested by the Bolsheviks, she suffered martyrdom in Alapayevsk on July 18, 1918, the day after the murder of the Holy Royal Martyrs. She was canonized by the Orthodox Church and is venerated as a protector and an example of Christian mercy.
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.
