Title A name given to the resource Entry To Jerusalem Subject The topic of the resource Panayia Asinou (Church : Troodos--Cyprus) Icons--post-Byzantine--Cyprus Εικόνες--Μεταβυζαντινές--Κύπρος Παναγία της Ασίνου (Ναός : Τρόοδος--Κύπρος) Description An account of the resource In the lunette above the western door of the naos, leading to the narthex, two scenes of the life of Christ are depicted. The southern represents the Entry to Jerusalem. It dates back to the 1105 A.D. iconographic cycle of the church. Christ is shown on a donkey, heading to the city with two of the Apostles following him. The Jerusalem crowd welcomes Him after the Raising of Lazarus and, as the Gospels testify, they climbed trees to watch Him and disposed of their garments and palm branches for Christ to pass over. The significance of His entry to Jerusalem on a donkey symbolises his arrival in peace and modesty rather than as a King on a horse.

Title A name given to the resource Ezekiel Subject The topic of the resource Panayia Asinou (Church : Troodos--Cyprus) Icons--post-Byzantine--Cyprus Εικόνες--Μεταβυζαντινές--Κύπρος Παναγία της Ασίνου (Ναός : Τρόοδος--Κύπρος) Description An account of the resource The scene of Ezekiel with the Closed Door, which is represented on the eastern face of the western arch of the naos, along with the Burning Bush and the Mandylion, attest the message of Incarnation through prophecies by Prophets of the Old Testament. In contrast, the message of Incarnation beyond time is the theme that the Annunciation scene on the western face of the eastern transverse arch bears. For the prophecy of Ezekiel, he is depicted holding an open scroll and standing before a closed door while Mary takes care that none will enter through that door. The text on the scroll of Ezekiel reads: "The Lord said to me: This gate shall remain shut; it shall not be opened, and no one shall enter by it; for the Lord, the God of Israel, has entered by it; therefore it shall remain shut". The presence of Mary is an anachronistic representation. In combination with the text on the scroll of Ezekiel, refer to Her virginity which remained unscathed even after the birth of Christ just like the door which opened only for Jesus. The presence of the Old Testament prefiguration of Mary in the scene of the Ezekiel with the Closed Door needs a re-examination. Although these type of scenes were normal, they were depicted in churches of high social status, and not in marginal churches such as Asinou. Therefore, the instance at Asinou is singular, and its sources of inspiration must be investigated somewhere else. However, there is not a parallel which can be compared to.

In contrast, the message of Incarnation beyond time is the theme that the Annunciation scene on the western face of the eastern transverse arch bears. The Mandylion, is depicted hanged by two snitches, and its form corresponds to the late Byzantine way of representation. However, it bears the face of Christ within a halo, whose type reminisces its middle Byzantine custom of depiction. As a pictorial theme, in iconographic programs of churches in Cyprus, the Mandylion possesses a distinctive role, and bears a symbolic message, it reaffirms the incarnation of God, Jesus. The custom, was to be depicted on the western side of the bema arch, but here at Asinu is located across. The relocation of the Mandylion serves a purpose. The two Prophets, flanking the Mandylion, are turned towards the centre of attention, the Bush and the Closed door, of their scenes and in this way they gaze towards the Mandylion. Actually they stare at the physical proof of their words, and the mandylion connects them to the Annunciation. According to scholars beliefs, the placement of the Holy Mandylion and the Ancient of Days, in the apex of the transverse arches, may substitute the absence of Pantokrator in the central apex of the nave.

In contrast, the message of Incarnation beyond time, is the theme that the Annunciation scene, on the western face of the eastern transverse arch bears. The Burning Bush is the scene, where Christ presents Himself to Moses, in the form of a burning bush. Here, a bush containing the figure of Mary is represented, with Moses facing upwards to the bush and coherently to the Mandylion. The placement of the scene of Burning Bush and the Closed Door on either side of the Holy Mandylion, the visual evidence of God’s incarnation, confirm the prophecies of Moses and Ezekiel and connects them to the Annunciation. The presence of the Old Testament prefiguration of Mary in the scene of the Burning Bush is a fact that needs a second reading. Although these type of scenes were normal, they were depicted in churches of high social status and not in marginal churches such as Asinu. Therefore, the instance at Asinu is singular and its sources of inspiration must be investigated somewhere else. For the Burning Bush, the inspiration must to be found in the depiction of a grizzled Moses with a thin beard in icons of Sinai as visual relations exist.

As this is the case, the prophecy of incarnation of God is endorsed by the most prominent prophets traditionally depicted in the soffits of the transverse arches of the nave. At Asinou, below the Annunciation, on the southern face of the soffit, Prophet and King David is portrayed with an open scroll in his hand. Its inscription reads: "Hear, O daughter, consider, and incline your ear" Psalm 44[45]:11[10]. The Word address Virgin and the attentive Christians. Regarding the visual aspect, the paraphernalia of his occupation as a king are present. He wears a red cloak over his shoulders - the lakerna – and a khaki tunic and red boots. These garments are adorned with jewels and gems while red is the colour worn by kings. They also wear their crowns without the prependulia, which recall western influence rather the Byzantine round kamelafkion or the diadem consisting of rounded plaques. The reason which can be attributed to the lack of the prependulia may be the effort of Latin Cyprus to imitate Byzantine models.

Title A name given to the resource Annunciation Subject The topic of the resource Panayia Asinou (Church : Troodos--Cyprus) Icons--post-Byzantine--Cyprus Εικόνες--Μεταβυζαντινές--Κύπρος Παναγία της Ασίνου (Ναός : Τρόοδος--Κύπρος) Description An account of the resource On the eastern transverse arch of the central bay, which is a strengthened later addition, the Annunciation scene in a compound with Christ as the Ancient of Days is illustrated. The Virgin is depicted enthroned, holding the spindle in front of an architectural scenery with pots of flowers. At the centre, Jesus as the Ancient of Days sends the dove of the Holy Spirit to Mary in a very descriptive way while Archangel Gabriel, on the northern side, moves towards Her. The portrait of Christ as the Ancient of Days constitutes a problematic theme. Here at Asinou, His representation in this type is the first example attested in Cyprus. Christ Emmanuel or the Mandylion are portrait types of Him attested elsewhere. A parallel depiction seems to exist at Saint Nicholas Agoriane in Greece from around the same period (ca. 1300). Based on that, the figure of the Ancient of the Days promotes the belief that Christ is identified with the Father, who exists before time and along with the Holy Spirit in the form of the dove constitute the Holy Trinity. Therefore, this could be a visual crash test of the filioque. However, this does not seem to be the case in Lusignan Cyprus. Rather the attention must be paid to the interplay of the message of Incarnation through time on the eastern transverse arch and the Incarnation through the Prophecies on the western. According to scholars’ beliefs, the placement of the Holy Mandylion and the Ancient of Days in the apex of the transverse arches may substitute the absence of Pantokrator in the central apex of the nave. Traditionally, the Annunciation scene decorates the bema opening and so the twelfth-century representation does. But during the course of the time span between A.D. 1105/6 and the fourteenth-century redecoration in which this fresco belongs, the Annunciation scene was relocated to the bema arch. Therefore, the fourteenth century painters left the twelfth-century fresco as it was and added the Annunciation scene on the bema arch as it was the trend during that time. Finally, contradictory features co-exist in the depiction of the Virgin. On the one hand, Mary is depicted in a novel type in Cypriot artistic context which derives from the customary representation of the scene attested in the West. Specifically, the composition evokes contemporary architectural setting. Also, the vivid colours and the vigorous movements of the figures seem to depart from the stylized postures of the previous centuries. On the other hand, Theotokos is dressed in an attire reminiscing twelfth century style. In this way, the painter highlighted the importance of tradition and conservatism in art and incorporates the message of the scene into the new style trends and the visual program of the central nave.

Title A name given to the resource Anastasis (Resurrection) Subject The topic of the resource Panayia Asinou (Church : Troodos--Cyprus) Icons--post-Byzantine--Cyprus Εικόνες--Μεταβυζαντινές--Κύπρος Παναγία της Ασίνου (Ναός : Τρόοδος--Κύπρος) Description An account of the resource The Anastasis scene is to be found on the lunette, of the northern wall of the naos. As the other story-telling scenes regarding the Christological cycle, except the Women at the Tomb, the scene is entitled with the label Anastasis. The representation shows Jesus pulling, Adam and Eve out of their tombs. Next to Eve, Cain is painted while behind Jesus Christ Prophets John the Baptist, Solomon and David are represented. The specific Anastasis scene existent since the eleventh century, and painted at Asinu in the early twelfth century, is considered to be the oldest type of the Descent into Hell scenes. The fourteenth-century layer seems to copy the original representation, and mistakenly, adds the name of Cain to the child of the proto-parents, who remained anonymous since the twelfth century. A certain addition though, to the 1105 scene, is the scroll of John the Baptist, which reads: 'Behold the one of whom I said he comes after me' (John 1:29–30).
