Local tier
The lower “Local” tier of the iconostasis differs from other tiers not only in variety but also in the size of the icons. This tier contains icons painted in the 17 th and early 18 th centuries. They are of different size and to have the single height of the tier they are framed. The frames have depictions, which help to reveal the image. There are many such icons in the local tier of the Church of Transfiguration.
There are the carved Royal Gates with small round frames where 7 small icons were put (only one with the image of the evangelist John has been preserved). Six of them depicting the Annunciation and the evangelists were placed on the gate wings; one in the top (according to the inventory, in the upper part there was an image of God-Sabaoth).
The local tier of this iconostasis includes 16 icons, most of which were large ones depicting saints popular in the European North of Russia: reverend Zosima and Sabbatius of Solovetsk, martyr George, the prophet Elias, and St. Nicolas. The saints are depicted with their holy deeds not only in marginal scenes but also in the center of the icon.
