"Mourning Angel" (Model 703) STL

The iconography of the "Mourning Angel" dates back to early Christian traditions that venerated incorporeal powers as participants in the Crucifixion and intercessors for humankind. Images of grieving angels became widespread during the Late Byzantine period and firmly established themselves in Russian church art by the 17th and 18th centuries, embodying themes of compassion, solace in sorrow, and prayerful vigil before the divine throne. Believers traditionally offer prayers before such reliefs for comfort in times of emotional and physical suffering, for the strengthening of faith during severe trials, and for the repose of the departed.
