Description
Saint John the Merciful, dressed in a prelate’s uniform, is depicted in the prothesis recess, the northern counterpart area of diakonikon. He is a local saint, as his birthplace was Amathus and his parents were Cypriots.
The portrait of Saint John within the sanctuary does not conform to the customary depiction. Although Thesia was the traditional scene depicted in the prothesis where the Holy Sacraments were prepared, this scene had not yet been iconographically developed.
