Temples
The Temple is a wooden or marble structure which separates the main church and the Holy Step with three gates, the Central or Royal Doors and the North and the South or the Deacons's Doors.
After the Iconoclasm, the hitherto low Temple evolved into the high Temple as we know it today, with large icons placed next to each other. In particular, at the top of the Temple is the icon of Christ, the Virgin Mary, St. John the Baptist, the Archangels Michael and Gabriel and the icon of the Patron Saint of the temple.
Its symbolism is attributed to the Christian continuity by the veil of the Temple in Jerusalem which was torn by the death of Christ.
The Ecclesiastical Temples of our collection are wood-carved constructions, with elaborate designs of the Christian faith and tradition. They are carved with detail and dexterity to decorate any Holy Temple.

"...I received the 3 pins today in the mail which I recently ordered, and I would like to thank you very much for such beautiful items!!! I live in Texas and we have a small Greek community and Greek Orthodox church. I have to wait until November when we have our annual Greek Festival before I can purchase items such as these, and so I was so happy to have been able to order these without even leaving my home!! I have also placed an order for several icons for my children. I look forward to receiving them in the near future...."
