October 3, 2024. The 953rd day of war in Ukraine. Decoration of the central dome of the temple. Saints Anthony and Theodosius Refectory Church. Kyiv.

            The vault of the church imitates Hagia Sophia.
In the center is the image of Christ the Great Bishop surrounded by Archangels. He is represented on the Throne as King and Priest. Next to the Savior, the Mother of God and John the Baptist turn to Him.
Artist Ivan Izhakevich (1864-1963).

In Christian and, including, Ukrainian sacred art, Old Testament characters (prophets and forefathers) play the role of heralds of the New Testament, symbolizing the meeting of the Old and New Testaments.
 In this case, in the dome of the temple, Christ the Savior is enthroned surrounded by the Mother of God, John the Forerunner and archangels, and below, on a drum of light, he is surrounded by 16 prophets, each of whom holds a scroll with prophecies about the birth of the Messiah.  In Ukraine, if the prophets are represented in the iconostasis, as a rule, they create the highest iconostasis rank.

У християнському і, в тому числі, в українському сакральному мистецтві старозавітні персонажі (пророки та праотці) виконують роль провісників Нового Завіту, символізуючи зустріч Старого та Нового Завіту.
У даному випадку, у куполі храму Христос Спаситель на престолі в оточенні Богородиці, Іоана Предтечі та архангелів, а нижче, на світловому барабані, його оточення становлять 16 пророків, кожен з яких тримає сувій із пророцтвами про народження месії. В Україні, якщо пророки представлені в іконостасі, як правило, вони творять найвищий іконостасний чин.
