Holy Gates. A column

In the upper part of the icon is a medallion with the full-length image of the Mother of God in prayer, to which corresponded an icon of Christ on the left column. Under the Mother of God there are images of Sts. George the Theologian, Tarasius, the Archbishop of Constantinople, and Archdeacon Aviv, to which corresponded on the left column two more saints and one archdeacon. The column is decorated with a two-headed eagle and large grass ornamentation.

Holy Gates – doors, pillars, canopy

The Annunciation scene is painted in the upper part of the doors. Below stand the full-length figures of the hierarchs. In the upper part of the pillars are the figures of Jesus Christ and the Mother of God. Below are the figures of Sts. George, Nicholas the Wonderworkers, archdeacons Laurentius and Stephan. On the canopy, against the heavenly vault with the lamps supported by angels, is an image of the Savior Not Made by Hands.
