The Great Feasts of the Orthodox Liturgical Year
Festal icons constitute one of the principal iconographic cycles of Byzantine and Orthodox Christian art. Together, these icons present the history of salvation, expressing the central doctrines of the Christian faith through a visual language shaped by Scripture, liturgical tradition, and theological interpretation.
In Orthodox churches, festal icons are traditionally displayed in the festal tier of the iconostasis. Their arrangement follows the liturgical calendar rather than a strictly chronological sequence, reflecting the cyclical nature of the Church's worship. Each icon is not merely an illustration of a historical event but a theological image that reveals its spiritual and salvific significance.
The cycle of the Great Feasts Icons includes:
- The Nativity of the Theotokos
- The Exaltation of the Holy Cross
- The Entrance of the Theotokos into the Temple
