The name "Deesus" comes from the Greek "prayer, petition." This is a special type of Orthodox icon or group of icons. In the center is depicted Christ, and on the sides – the Mother of God and John the Forerunner.
The image was written specifically for this temple in the technique of encaustics. This is an ancient technique of painting and icon painting, it uses wax and resin as binder components. Thanks to this, it is possible to preserve and emphasize the natural texture of the wooden base.
