Gold of the Gospel

Hi friends!
I suggest you look at the luxurious design of the gospels.

These are the so -called "outfit gospels." They contain the text of four canonical gospels - from Matthew, from Mark, from Luke and from John.

This gospel must be in any Orthodox church. Of course not as rich as they are presented in my photographs.

These books were created in the 15-17th centuries. These are riverbed books. They are stored in the altar and are taken out only for reading to parishioners.

Books presented here cannot be found in an ordinary temple. Most likely, they would be stolen from there.

These are stored in the museum. Under reliable protection.
It is customary to formalize the gospel in the form of a cross. In the center - Jesus Christ, in the corners - the evangelists.

The covers are strewn with precious stones, beads and glaze.
They are heavy from excess gold.

The details of the design can be admired for a very long time. What masters were those people who could just do such a miracle with their own hands.

These books have no price.
