Icon Twelve Feasts Russia antique 40x30 cm.
Ancient 12 Great Feasts icon from the city of Moscow, Russia dating back to the mid 19th century. This traditional Great Feasts icon is painted on a wooden support made of linden wood measuring 35.3x30.5 cm and depicts the twelve great feasts of the Byzantine liturgical year, making it an article of both iconographic and historical value. The twelve feasts are organized in sequence according to the ancient scriptures and are placed around the thirteenth feast or mother of all feasts, that is the Easter of Resurrection.Easter is depicted here with a set of interlaced scenes, namely the descent into the Underworld of Christ, the procession of the blessed to Heaven, the resurrection of Christ from the tomb and finally the apparition at the lake of Tiberias.The Twelve Feasts, drawn from episodes of the Old and New Testament, thus also act as biblical liturgical catechesis, always under the eye of the faithful.This elaborate icon is shipped with a blue velvet box, certificate of authenticity and export document.
