Monastery of Dečani, Icons from the KatholiKon Artifact Four icons - Christ Pantocrator, the Holy Mother of God with the child Jesus, St. John the Baptist and St. Nicholas - adorned the middle part of the iconostasis of the Church of Christ Pantocrator in the Monastery of Dečani. The icons were made around 1343 and were in place until the end of the 16th century, when they were replaced by new ones (those will again be replaced in the fourth decade of the 20th century). The icons are the work of one of the painters who painted the Katholikon of the Monastery of Dečani. In addition to their exceptional artistic value, these icons are a rare, early example of icons that have been preserved in their original place.
