ЈЕРУСАЛИМ ИЗ РИЗНИЦЕ СРПСКЕ ПРАВОСЛАВНЕ ЦРКВЕ У ЧАКОВУ
JERUSALEM FROM THE SERBIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH TREASURY IN ČAKOVO

Summary/Abstract: The Hajj icon, better known as Jerusalem, was found in the Serbian Orthodox Church treasury in Čakovo and handed over for conservation to the Provincial Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments in Novi Sad. The conservation procedure was carried out by four conservators-restorers, and the work lasted six months, more precisely from June to November 2023, after which the icon was returned to the Serbian Orthodox Church. Based on the inscriptions on the back of the icon and in the medallion on the front of it, the icon was brought by Hajji Georgi Manoil from a pilgrimage in 1777. The Jerusalem icon from Čakovo is arranged to form a whole in which, through complex symbolic iconography, the earth constantly meets the heavens. The icon is one of the most significant Orthodox holy relics from the second half of the XVIII century. Because of its complex iconographic features, it deserves a detailed iconographic and stylistic analysis.
