SAINT SIMEON DAJBABSKI

Saint Simeon of Dajbabe was born in Cetinje and received his education at a spiritual academy in Tsarist Russia, in Kiev, where he was inspired by the lives and feats of the founders and holy fathers of the Kiev Lavra. In Kiev, he was tonsured a monk and ordained as a hieromonk. He returned to Cetinje in 1888, then went to Vranjina and later to Ostrog. A miraculous vision prompted the construction of a church at the site of the current Dajbabe Monastery. He passed away in 1941, and in 1996, his holy relics were discovered.

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.
