The image of a world blessed and transformed by the Savior—this is precisely the purpose of the entire church space, serving a single purpose: prayerful address to the Lord. The separation of the faithful from the place where the sacrament of the Eucharist is celebrated by a special altar barrier—the iconostasis—is deeply symbolic. Representing the image of the Church and all stages of the Divine Economy, the iconostasis symbolizes the connection between the heavenly and earthly worlds, offering humanity the path to spiritual salvation. The Church, as the Body of the Lord, was proclaimed by the forefathers and prophets (the First Covenant of God with man—the Herathic Order; the coming of the Messiah—the Prophetic Order), created by the Word of God (the earthly life of Jesus Christ—the Festal Order), directed toward the coming Second Coming of the Savior in Power and Glory (the Deesis Order), glorified by venerated saints (the Local Order), and opens the doors to the Kingdom of God to every believer (the Royal Doors). The high Russian iconostasis is an utterly unique and integral phenomenon in Christian art. Reflecting all ecclesiastical tenets, it conveys the multifaceted skill of its artists, leaving a mark on the history of the Fatherland and the Russian Orthodox Church. The album series "Famous Iconostases of Russia" contains the most significant, complete, and best-preserved church artistic monuments.
