Summary/Abstract: The text is dedicated to five icons dated to the second half of the 19th century. The icons are: St Haralampius (1867) and St Mina (1867) from the Church of St Dimitar in the village of Ovcharovo, Jesus Christ Pantocrator (1878) and Annunciation (1872) from the royal doors of the church of Ivan Rilski in the village of Dositeevo, and SS Cyril and Methodius (1881) from the Church of St Archangel Michael of the village of Slavyanovo. All three villages are located in the municipality of Harmanli, Haskovo district. In the donation inscriptions on the five images, the name of the iconographer is clearly read – Filip. Based on some peculiarities and mistakes in the donation inscriptions, the conclusion is that the icons were made by the Odrin iconographer Filippos, who is known to have worked in the villages in the regions of Haskovo and Plovdiv.
