Св. св. Кирик и Юлита и техният култ на Балканите
The Saints Cyricus and Julitta and Their Cult in the Balkans

Summary/Abstract: The present paper discusses the hagiographical tradition and representations of the Saints Cyricus and Julitta in monuments of the Balkans. The emphasis is put on their images which are known from the twelfth-century wall paintings and from the fifteenth-century icons. The scenes of their Vita are rarely represented. They can be seen on frescoes from the 14th up to 19th centuries, and on icons from the 17th to 19th centuries (of which only two examples are known). In contrast, on Russian icons these scenes are often depicted which points at the use of different type of sources.
