Saviour not Made by Hand (Saviour on a Tile)

Dionisy's frescoes. Saviour not Made by Hand (Saviour on a Tile)

A special type of Christ’s iconography, an image of his face on a tile. It goes back to its miraculous apparition on the tile that immured the Spas Nerukotvorny on a cloth placed in the niche of the town gates in Edessa. This image was recovered in 545 together with the Saviour not Made by Hand on a cloth.
