#sttryphon

In the picture, you can see a rare Russian icon painted circa 1800. Its rarity lies in the figures it depicts. The thing is that an anonymous icon painter depicted Saint George, the Archangel Michael, the Prophet Elijah, and Saint Tryphon, all in one icon, which was not usual for the iconography of the period. Each figure bears a considerable historical and religious significance, though the connection between the four is open to interpretation.
