A school of (10[1])thought (10[1])proposing this concept as a fourth hypostasis in the Trinity (10[1])included Vladimir (10[1])Solovyov (10[1])and Sergei (10[1])Bulgakov. (10[2])This concept names the most-visited cathedral in Kyiv and another church whose half-deteriorated Deësis (10[1])(“dee-EE-sis”) Mosaic, featuring Christ Pantocrator (“pan-TOCK-ruh-ter”), marked (10[1])the beginning of the Palaeologan (“pay-lee-AW-luh-gun”) Renaissance. (10[1])Some Gnostics compare this (10[1])figure to a female twin or (10[1])wife of Jesus. (10[2])A cathedral dedicated (10[1])to this concept (10[1])served as the (10[1])episcopal see of the Ecumenical (10[1])Patriarchate for a millennium after it was commissioned by Justinian I.
