Description

This large, modern silver-plated icon of Jesus Receiving Three Bishops is hand-painted on a wood base with a silver-plated cover with incredible ornate gold and silver accents. The entire icon is overlaid with a beautifully finished, highly detailed repousse (high relief) gold and silver-plated metallic cover (also known as a "riza") with an attached 24-carat gold-plated halo. The riza uses a scrolled floral pattern to accent the subjects and covers the less important areas of the icon. Velvet backing.Icon History: Reproduction of a 19th century icon. The holiday honoring these great venerables (St. Basil, St. Gregory, and St. Chrysostom) was set up in Constantinople during 1804. The legend says that these bishops were arguing which one was greater and better. The Metropolitan John then had a vision: that these three bishops should be regarded as equal and that a holiday for all of them should be established. These saints are called "Worldly Angels", "Heavenly People", "Columns of Truth and Faith", and "The Wisest Doctors of Weaknesses of the Soul" during church services January 30.
