Deisis translated from the Greek means intercession. The Deisis tier in an icon screen usually finds Christ in the center surrounded by saints who intercede on behalf of the faithful. The larger compositions have John The Baptist, The Mother of God, The Two Archangels Michael and Gabriel and the twelve Apostles with Christ always in the center. The Deisis icon is one of the most coveted by both Greek and Slavic peoples. The smaller version shows Christ in the center with John The Forerunner on His right and the Mother of God on his left.
