Created by Athanasius, Metropolitan of Moscow in the mid-16th century, this masterpiece can be found in the esteemed collection of the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow.

Through its use of tempera on panel technique, "Blessed Be the Host of the King of Heaven" captures historical events with remarkable precision while infusing them with spiritual significance. This work stands as a testament to Athanasius' skill as an artist and his contribution to Russian icon painting. Overall, this painting is not just an exquisite example from Russian history; it represents an important chapter in time when religion, monarchy, folklore, and politics converged to shape Russia's cultural identity.
