Saint Paisios of Mount Athos was one of the most significant Athonite elders of the 20th century. Born in the village of Farasa in Asia Minor and baptized by Saint Arsenios of Cappadocia, he was forced to flee to Greece after the population exchange. He became a monk on Mount Athos, where he was a disciple of Elder Simeon and later Elder Tikhon. Despite health issues, he spent his final days in a monastery near Thessalonica, leaving behind a great spiritual legacy.

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.
