Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to implement the iconographic attribution of previously unrecognized icons. To achieve the goal, some compositional and stylistic peculiarities of the work were analyzed, to determining the time of its creation and its affiliation with a particular icon painting school. The methodology of the research involves the use of interdisciplinary and art-study approaches with the use of general scientific methods (analysis, historical-analytical, synthesis, analogy, comparative). The scientific novelty of the work is the study of a previously untried product and putting it into scientific circulation. Conclusions. The iconographic and stylistic analyzes of the "Week of Myrrhbearers," recently discovered with seven other festive images in the church collection of St. Stephen's Church in Athens (Greece), make it possible to confirm the version of the Bulgarian origin of the works in question. The features of the iconography of the investigated icon, the presence of corresponding analogs among the Bulgarian church painting, color scheme and the use of peculiar artistic techniques point to the masters of the Trevanian icon painting school of the first half and the middle of the nineteenth century.
