On the occasion of the Feast of Todor's Saturday, in honor of St. Theodore Tiron, we present the heraldic representations of Theodore Tyrone and Theodore Stratilati in the church St Pantelejmon in Nerezi, in the vicinity of Skopje, which was built in 1164. The mon\u00adastery church was builted by the Byzantine nobleman Alexis Comn\u00e8ne, there is a presentation of six Holy Warriors, all presented with shields. In the naos, on the western wall, on both sides of the entrance, there are frescoes of three Holy Warriors. The ligatures of their names on the frescos did not survive to the present, but with analogies, the identities of the Warriors have been established.2 I performed heraldic analysis, and here are the findings. <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
On the left side, there are presentations of\nSt. Mercurius, St. Theodor Stratilat and St. Theodor Tyron. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
St. Mercurius has small round shield facing\ntoward him, which he holds with his left hand by the straps and the\nreinforcments on the back. Obviously the front side of the shield is not\nvisible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
St. Theodor Stratilat stands in front of his\nshield, with its lower edge resting on the ground. He holds it by its straps from behind. The shield is of typical 12 c.\nlong shape, semi\u00adcircular at the top and with a sharp angle at the bottom. Its\nheight is up to the Warrior\u2019s belly and is visible enough to be blazoned. As\nwith other four shields, the shield has a golden decorative frame, though each\nhas distinctive decorations. The shield is partitioned per cross Vert and\nGules. It should be noted that the fields are damasked with floral patterns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
St. Theodor Tyron also stands in front of his\nshield, which is of the same shape as the previous one. He supports it with his\nhand at the upper part. The shield has a golden frame, with a golden bar in the\nupper part. The color of the shield did not survive. On the shield there is a\ngolden demi-centaur. A human\nface is hidden behind the bar, but the hair, forehead and eyebrows are visible,\nthough showing that it is a human head. There continues a human trunk, which merges\ninto a horse body with clearly visible front legs with hooves. On the field\nthere are several small 8 pointed suns, which indicate that the field is seme\nof suns Or, or more probably is damasking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
