Icon of saint basil the great 13 icons of the deesis depict full-length saints, addressing a prayer for the salvation of sinful humanity to the savior seated on the throne among the heavenly powers. His icon "savior in power" is located in the center of the row and is the most significant image of this multi-tiered construction of the iconostasis. The deesis of the main iconostasis of the annunciation cathedral includes the mother of god and john the baptist, the archangels michael and gabriel, the apostles peter and paul, the church fathers john chrysostom and basil the great. Along the southern and northern walls of the cathedral, "in the turn", stood the images of the great martyrs george and demetrius, as well as the pillar-dwellers daniel and simeon. Researchers associate the central core of nine icons from the end of the 14th century with a greek icon painter, probably theophanes the greek, who worked at the court of the moscow prince at that time. Date: 14 c,?.
