Saint Nectarios of Aegina, a great 20th-century saint, is particularly revered by those suffering from tumors, with many miraculous healings occurring at his grave. As an esteemed theologian, his study on the causes of the separation of the Western Latin Church from the Eastern Orthodox Church is of great significance. Criticizing papism and unionism, Saint Nectarios affirmed that for the Orthodox Church, “the center of unity and the cornerstone of the Church is the Head of the Church, the Crucified Lord Jesus Christ. He is the only Head of the Church; every other should be rejected and condemned,” echoing similar words of Saint Gregory the Theologian.
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.
