The first one shows Christ's entry into Jerusalem (Mark 11); then one of Mary and Child shown as a fountain of living water; then the body of Christ being taken down from the Cross; then an icon called the Exaltation of the Cross, a festival celebrated on the 14th of September; then an icon of Christ teaching in the temple (e.g. Luke 4:16-30); then the two women finding Christ's empty tomb (Mark 16:1-8); then there are two icons of Mary, mother of God; then an icon of the Prophet Elijah in the desert (from the OT); then an icon of St. George (the patron saint of England :-D and other things too); then an icon of the Last Supper (Luke 22:17-20) and another of Jesus washing His disciples feet (John 13:1-20); then a dramatic icon of Judas betraying Jesus with a kiss, and His (Christ's) arrest; then the Crucifixion. Finally another icon of Mary with Jesus, but in this icon both have crowns because they reign in Heaven now! Wow, yes, a lot of icons... and so much more to say about them.
