Byzantine Hand Painted Icon of Deesis.
The Icon of Deesis (meaning Supplication) depicts Jesus Christ Enthroned blessing while surrounded by the Virgin Mary and Saint John who are praying to him. The Icon of Deesis evolved from the Orthodox templon (iconostasis) and is now one of the most widespread representations of the Christian tradition where Jesus Christ blesses for the salvation of the world.
