Collection of icons painted on ground of pure gold

“The city was pure gold, like pure glass” (Rev. 21:8)
"All the glory of the King's daughter is within; her clothes are sewn with gold" (Psalm 45:13)

The history of icon painting is rooted in antiquity. Gilding with gold leaf is already found on the oldest images dating back to the 9th-11th centuries. The technique of gilding came to Russia from Byzantium. Starting from the 13th century, gold leaf was often used by Novgorod, Pskov, and Moscow iconographers. They achieved a very high level of skill, therefore the icons they created reach our days in near perfect condition.

In the Orthodox tradition, gold is a symbol of holiness, greatness, and of a spiritual world. The golden background symbolizes the heavenly world, which cannot be conveyed by other paints or pigments. The thin gilding of halos and fragments of robes on the icons denotes participation in the Divine Uncreated Light, symbolizes holiness, purity and purity. Joy is proclaimed in the golden color and light in the icon. The highlights painted in gold symbolize Divine energy and grace, the beauty of the other world, God himself. Gold, as it were, absorbs the evil of the world and defeats it. Gold is perceived as God Himself, the Light in which there is no darkness.

From the aesthetic and artistic side, gilded icons undoubtedly represent a higher value in comparison with others, due to the complexity of the gilding process itself, as well as the high cost of the precious metal.

Икона - Св. Мученица Пелагия Тарсийская

The icon depicts St. Martyr Pelagia of Tarsus (Greek: Πελαγία, † early 4th century), a legendary Christian saint and martyr who lived in Tarsus in Cilicia (southeastern Asia Minor) during the reign of Roman emperor Diocletian. According to her vita, Pelagia was born in the 3rd century in Tarsus (the Cilician region of Asia Minor) in a family of noble pagans. The girl was distinguished by her extraordinary beauty, received a good education, and the emperor Diocletian decided to make her the wife of his adopted heir, who was captivated by her beauty. Pelagia, who heard about Christians, their faith and martyrdom, was baptized by Bishop Clinon in Tarsus. After that, she refused to marry the adopted son of Diocletian and was brought by her mother to the Emperor, who, after seeing her beauty, wanted to make her his wife. Pelagia refused Diocletian, confessed herself as a Christian, and was executed by being burned in a red-hot copper bull. The bones of the saint were collected by local Christians and buried on one of the hills in the vicinity of the city. Emperor Constantine I the Great built a holy church over the relics of Pelagia.

Икона - Св. Иоанн Предтеча из деисусного чина

Saint John the Baptist was a Jewish itinerant preacher in the early first century AD who is revered as a significant religious figure in Christianity, Islam, and other faiths. He is called a prophet by all of these traditions and is honored as a saint in many Christian traditions. The Orthodox faithful believe that John was the last of the Old Testament prophets, thus serving as a bridge between that period of revelation and the New Covenant. They also teach that, following his death, John descended into Hades and there once more preached that Jesus the Messiah was coming, so he was the Forerunner of Christ in death as he had been in life. Eastern Orthodox churches will often have an icon of St. John the Baptist in a place of honor on the iconostasis, frequently mentioned during the Divine Services. Every Tuesday throughout the year is dedicated to his memory.

Икона - Спас Вседержитель

Christ Pantocrator refers to a specific depiction of Christ. The most common translation of Pantocrator is "Almighty" or "All-powerful". In this understanding, Pantocrator is a compound word formed from the Greek words for "all" and the noun "strength" (κρατος). This is often understood in terms of potential power, i.e., the ability to do anything, omnipotence. The iconic image of Christ Pantocrator was one of the first images of Christ developed in the Early Christian Church and remained a central icon of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Christ is depicted half-length, holding the Gospels in his left hand and making the blessing gesture with his right.  The Gospels are opened on Matthew 11:28 “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”

Икона - Владимирская Богоматерь

Our Lady of Vladimir is one of the most highly venerated Orthodox icons and a typical example of Byzantine iconography. The original 12th-century icon survived and is displayed in the Tretyakov Gallery museum in Moscow.

The venerated image was used to celebrate the coronations of tsars, the elections of patriarchs, and other important ceremonies of the Russian state. Her feast day is June 3.

Икона - 4 избранных Святых: Преп. Савватий Тверской, Св. Пелагия, Св. Харитина и Св. муч. Варвара

St. Venerable Sabbatius of Tver († 1438) was a famous Russian miracleworking monk. He took the tonsure and labored in the Orshinsky Ascension Monastery. In the 1380s, he traveled to the Holy City of Jerusalem, where he got acquainted with the life of Palestinian monasticism. Returning to his native monastery, he decided to move to desert life. For this purpose, having asked the blessing of his confessor, St. Arseny, he retired to a dense forest up the Orsha River, where he dug a cave in which he prayed for the salvation of human souls. In the same place, the monk dug a pond, and on the bank of the river, through the prayers of the saint, a healthy spring broke through. Soon the brethren began to gather around the Monk Sabbatius and, eventually, the Sabbatius' Monastery arose. The saint was in fraternal correspondence with St. Sergius of Radonezh, Cornelius of Komel, and many other holy monks. The monastery arranged by the Monk Sabbatius was considered one of the most strict and organized. Even during the life of St. Sabbatius became famous for miracles. Through his prayer, the daughter of Prince Boris of Tver, Maria, the future wife of Ivan III, received healing. The St. Sabbatius monastery suffered the fate of many Russian monasteries and in the 18th century.

St. Martyr Pelagia of Tarsus (Greek: Πελαγία, † early 4th century), was a legendary Christian saint and martyr who lived in Tarsus in Cilicia (southeastern Asia Minor) during the reign of Roman emperor Diocletian. According to her vita, Pelagia was born in the 3rd century in Tarsus (the Cilician region of Asia Minor) in a family of noble pagans. The girl was distinguished by her extraordinary beauty, received a good education, and the emperor Diocletian decided to make her the wife of his adopted heir, who was captivated by her beauty. Pelagia, who heard about Christians, their faith and martyrdom, was baptized by Bishop Clinon in Tarsus. After that, she refused to marry the adopted son of Diocletian and was brought by her mother to the Emperor, who, after seeing her beauty, wanted to make her his wife. Pelagia refused Diocletian, confessed herself as a Christian, and was executed by being burned in a red-hot copper bull. The bones of the saint were collected by local Christians and buried on one of the hills in the vicinity of the city. Emperor Constantine I the Great built a holy church over the relics of Pelagia.

St. Charitina of Amisus was a virgin martyr from Asia Minor, distinguished by strict chastity and piety. Charitina spent her life in fasting, prayer, and study. By her example, she converted many to Christianity during the reign of Emperor Diocletian and was seized in the city of Amisus in Pontus. After torture and death, her body was thrown into the sea in the year 304.

Saint Barbara, known in the Eastern Orthodox Church as the Great Martyr Barbara, was an early Christian saint and martyr living in the Greek city Nicomedia, present-day Turkey or in Heliopolis of Phoenicia, present-day Baalbek, Lebanon. Saint Barbara is often portrayed with miniature chains and a tower. As one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers, Barbara continues to be a popular saint in modern times, perhaps best known as the patron saint of armourers, artillerymen, military engineers, miners and others who work with explosives because of her old legend's association with lightning, and also of mathematicians. Many of her thirteen miracles turn on the security she offered that her devotees would not die without making confession and receiving extreme unction.

According to the Tradition, Herod's daughter Herodias danced before Herod, who was so pleased that he offered her anything she asked for in return. When the girl asks her mother what she should request, she is told to demand the head of John the Baptist. Reluctantly, Herod orders the beheading of John, and his head is delivered to her, at her request, on a plate. (Mark 6:17–29).
