Description
After the Lord's Ascension into heaven, the Apostles spent their days in prayer, preparing for the coming of the Holy Spirit. On the morning of the 50th day of His Resurrection, the Lord sent the Holy Spirit upon them as He had promised. There was the sound of a violent wind that filled the house, and tongues of fire appeared on each of the Apostles. They began to speak in various languages by the power of the Holy Spirit, and preached to those who were visiting in Jerusalem. Saint Peter revealed the meaning of the scriptures to the Jews, and his sermon is recorded in Acts chapter 2. Three thousand souls were baptized on that day.
In iconography, Saint Paul is present at the head of the Apostles, together with Saint Peter, despite the fact that he was not present and indeed was a persecutor of the Church at this time. Others who were present, such as the Virgin Mary, do not appear in the icon. Iconography is not merely a depiction of an event; it also reveals the event's spiritual reality. Pentecost was the divine ordination of the Apostles, who went into all the world to preach the Gospel and to ordain successors for themselves.
Icon by the hand of Georgi Chimev.

Very nice icon
What to say? I wanted a Pentecost icon. This one is beautiful, solidly made, and will make a very nice place in my small dining room. Pentecost is my favorite day in the year.

Almost like being there!
This icon is beautiful on many levels. I'm very glad I got it in a larger size as the details of this icon are so important. It is the best, I think, among the many depictions of this event. Thank you Legacy, for a quality product, made, and sold with care..
