Cercetare com. Șanț, jud. Bistrița Năsăud. Slujbă religioasă (1935)

Iosif Berman · 1935

Photography plays the job held by the priest. The church is of Greek Catholic rite (in the 16th century part of the Orthodox rite church, united with Rome). The priest, dressed in priestly coats, reads from Holy Scripture. Men and brides attend the job. The catapeteasma of this church built of masonry, has access doors in the altar with arches. The icons are separated by flats with capitals. The same arcades have the immune icons: Mother of God with Baby, Jesus Christ Great Teacher, the icons of the Good News and the Archangels. All saints are presented standing. Above the Empress icons appear two more rows of icons (the first with scenes from the life of Jesus and the Last Supper, the other with the apostles and saints). Above, on a pediment decorated with acanthus leaves, medallions are placed with Our Lady with Baby, Evangelists, etc. Top, close to the painted vault, stands the icon of the Crucifixion. In the picture are also a tetrapod, a table, sherds and fabrics: earrings with geometric motifs (rhombuses with horns, wolf teeth, plates, etc.)
