Single-row iconostasis with Royal Gates and carvings

"A single row of icons can contain a whole history of salvation" — such is the power of simplicity in temple art.

A single-row iconostasis is the arrangement of icons in a church or chapel, where they are organized in a single row. It is made of wood, the most common material for iconostases due to its ease of processing and the ability to create various ornaments.

Purpose of the Product

The single-row iconostasis consists of an upper architrave, on which the Royal Gates are located, as well as a row of icons. The lower part contains doors — the entrance to the sacred area of the temple. The iconostasis has a strict order of icon placement: the main icon is usually located in the center, surrounded by icons of the holy apostles and other saints, while key events from the life of Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary may be depicted at the top.
