About the Item
A traditional Russian icon of St John; the Theologian in Silence, where he appears to be holding the Gospel. The scene's title derives from the saint's hand gesture in which his finger is on his lips, inviting silence. It is assumed that this particular gesture originated in an extract from his gospel which ends thus: 'And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the word itself could not contain the books that should be written'. (John 21, 25).
An angel is shown whispering the Gospel into the Apostle's ear, representing divine revelation. The two saints depicted next to him are St. Peter
St. Paul. St Peter is recognized by his keys symbolizing the keys to heaven, and St. Paul is identified by holding a sword representing his martyrdom.
