Symbolism and application of the item

A bead of cubic shape, the four sides of which are decorated with images of icons of the Deesis iconostasis: the Lord ...Almighty, Our Lady of Kazan, St. Nicholas of Myra, and the Guardian Angel.

Deesis  (In Greek δέησις - asking, praying for; deesis) - is an icon or a group of icons with Christ Almighty in the center with God's Mother and John the Baptist on His right and on His left. Also, there can be images of the apostles,  saint fathers, martyrs, angels, and much more - that makes a multifigure deesis.

The main dogmatic meaning of the Deesis composition is mediation prayer and intercession for the human race in the face of the terrible Heavenly King and the Judge.

The bead is a type of Russian home iconostasis: a set of family prayer icons occupying a red corner in the house. The principles of the temple iconostasis are repeated in it, however, the image of John the Baptist is often replaced by the icon of Nicholas of Mirliky (St. Nicholas the Miracle Worker), the most venerated saint in Russia.

These beads with delicate images of the saints can be used to make unique bracelets and necklaces.
