The hand-painted icons depicting the Resurrection of Jesus constitute a principal part of our collection. In the picture, you can see one such antique treasure made in the second half – the end of the 19th century. The centerpiece of the panel is dedicated to the scene of the Resurrection of Christ, which consists of two parts: the “Rising from the Tomb” and “Harrowing of Hades.” It is surrounded by the images of the Four Evangelists: John the Theologian, Mark, Matthew, and Luke. You can also see 12 border scenes of the main Church Feasts of the liturgical year, which make the entire composition even more complex.

It is associated with the so-called dormition of the Holy Theotokos. Before leaving the earthly world, the 64-year-old Virgin Mary wished to see all the apostles once more, after which the angels took her soul. She was buried in a cave next to the Garden of Gethsemane, which remained empty on the third day because the Virgin was resurrected. The Christian Church has been celebrating this day since the first centuries of Christianity, and Bulgaria until today, on August 15 thousands of believers flock to the temples and monasteries bearing the name of the Mother of God. 🖼️: "Dormition of the Theotokos" by Zefir Kukushev 🇧🇬 • #българия #bulgaria #orthodox #orthodoxchristian #orthodoxchurch #orthodoxy #churchfeast #dormition #dormitionofthetheotokos #mothermary #theotokos #thedormition #virginmary #saintmary #icon #iconography #orthodoxiconography #orthodoxicons #bulgarianorthodox #easternorthodox #orthodoxchristian #greekorthodox #russianorthodox #serbianorthodox #georgianorthodox #antiochianorthodox #romanianorthodox #православие #богородица #девамария (at Bulgaria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSmNpmwCx3Q/?utm_medium=tumblr
