Deisus - from the Greek deises - supplication of saints for the human race is a canonical composition of iconography that includes Christ in the center and the mother of God and John the Baptist mandatory characters addressed to him in prayer poses. The ecclesiastical meaning of the deisus rite is that Jesus Christ sits on the throne, preparing to judge people for their many sins, and those close to him beg him to be lenient and merciful. The Greek word DEISUS means in translation from the Greek Supplication or Petition.
