Icon of the Synaxis of the Glorious and All-Praiseworthy Twelve Apostles
Beautiful antique
icon of the Synaxis of the Glorious and All-Praiseworthy Twelve Apostles,
painted in the 15th century. As the name suggests, the icon depicts a
celebratory gathering of the Holy Apostles, honoring the chosen friends and disciples
of Jesus Christ. It comes from the Cathedral of St. Sophia (the Holy
Wisdom of God) in Veliky Novgorod and is currently held at the Tretyakov
State Gallery in Moscow.
