SAINT ZOSIMUS OF TUMAN

Saint Zosimas of Tuman was one of several hesychasts, holy monks from Sinai who shone in our Church during the time of Prince Lazarus and Despot Stefan, greatly contributing to the preservation of the Orthodox faith, especially in the Braničevo region. Not far from the monastery, in the cave of Kameniča, this hermit struggled in prayer, and according to popular tradition, Miloš Obilić accidentally wounded the monk during a hunt. Later, he began to build a church above his grave, which he could not complete due to his death in the Battle of Kosovo. A monastery, Tuman, grew in that place.

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.
