Summary/Abstract: The report examines and analyses the unique and specific in nature wall decoration in the additionally constructed 19th-century narthex of the church in the village of Dolna Verenitsa. The emphasis in this study is placed on the allegorical rosette created on verses from The Psalter with calendar and cosmogonic interpretations which, in the form they are written/painted, are not found in churches constructed at the same time in the region; and which are of particular interest for iconographic studying due to their singular nature. Emphatic is also the choice of the psalm, and composite references to other churches displaying similar images.
