Russian wooden icon “OF THE WEEK”. In this complex and less frequently encountered subject, each day of the week is represented by a feast day image. Beginning at top left the ‘Resurrection’ (Sunday); then the ‘Assembly of the Archangels’ (Monday); the ‘Beheading of John the Forerunner’ (Tuesday); the ‘Annunciation’ (Wednesday); the ‘Foot Washing’ (Thursday); and the ‘Crucifixion’ (Friday). Saturday is depicted as a gathering of ‘All Saints’ and occupies most of the lower part of the icon.
