Icon - Wood - TRES SANTOS

Saint Sergius (on the left), a monk or martyr venerated in the Orthodox tradition. Saint Philip (in the center), identified by the book or scroll he holds as an apostle or evangelizer. Saint Catherine / Ekaterina (on the right), depicted as a princess or martyr-queen with a crown.

Above them appears Christ blessing from the clouds, a typical composition of Russian icons from the eighteenth–nineteenth centuries.

The style corresponds to a popular Russian Orthodox icon, painted on panel with a golden background and characteristic red borders.

Interesting details:
- The intense red color of the robes symbolizes martyrdom and holiness.
- Saint Catherine is usually depicted crowned due to her noble origin.
- The format with three saints together normally indicates saints as patrons of a specific family.
