The frescoes of the Man of Sorrows and the lamenting Virgin in the church of
Saint Demetrios at Markov Manastir (1376/77) are depicted in the western part of
the naos, which is a departure from their usual location in the sanctuary. The paper,
therefore, looks at the location of these frescoes in the context of the entire fresco
program at Markov Manastir. What is distinct is a conceptual link between the
frescoes in the sanctuary and the depiction of the Dead Christ and the Virgin on the
western wall. The relationship between the Incarnation and the death of Christ is
considered from a theological and liturgical standpoint. Related examples of icons
whose iconographic and thematic solutions share the same conceptual tenets are also
analyzed, as well as the influence of the texts read during the Passion Service on the
placement of the frescoes of the Dead Christ and the Virgin.
