This is a matching set of fifteen mounted icons #360 through #374. This set of mounted icons was originally painted by the 16th Century Master Iconographer, Theophan the Cretan, and were carefully restored by the monks of Dormition Skete. They are made to match as closely as possible the size, color, and bevel.
This is a complete set of all twelve major feasts, plus three Resurrectional feasts.
Included are the following icons:
360 Annunciation
361 Nativity
362 Meeting of the Lord in the Temple
363 Theophany (Baptism of Christ)
364 Transfiguration
365 Raising of Lazarus
366 Entry into Jerusalem
367 Crucifixion
368 Resurrection
369 Ascension
370 Pentecost
371 Dormition of the Theotokos
372 Myrrh-Bearers at the Tomb
373 Meeting the Risen Lord
374 Touch of Thomas
Please see the individual icons for detailed information about them.
A mounted icon is a photograph of an icon which is laminated, glued onto birch fibercore wood, trimmed with three edges on each side, and with the board painted and varnished to match the color on the edge of the icon.
An unmounted icon is simply a laminated photograph of an icon. It is a common practice to frame an unmounted icon, or to use them as a guide in one's own personal iconography.
