Festive tier

The Festive Range was above the Local one.

In the iconostasis of the Transfiguration Church it contains 30 icons . They are a detailed illustration of Christ' s life described in the Gospel and some important events from the Christian history that was rather exceptional for festive tiers of northern iconostases. The Festive tier of the iconostasis from the Transfiguration church contains the depiction of eocumenic councils - from the first to the fourth. Here we can see St. Nicolas of Merlecea and his rival Aria; Konstantin, the king and many others famous Christian personages. The festive icons like other icons of the Dieses and Prophets' tiers were painted in the early 18 th century. This was the period when the North of Russia started actively use the western art, which had had deep roots in the center. Nevertheless subject-matters of the festive icons were still traditional for Russian iconostases.
