Figuring Together In The Icon Of The Crucifixion

In an icon of the Crucifixion, dating to the 19th century, the Crucified Christ, the Virgin Mary and the beloved disciple John are framed by the figures of St Georgios and St Demetrios, with the former in the honorary position at the right, and the latter at the left. The two protectors of the Monastery are portrayed as privileged eyewitnesses of Christ's sacrifice.
