I once became hooked on iconography and made a research on it ...its history as well as the painting process and materials used.. I even painted one.. to research . I went to the russian Orthodox Church in Vienna's 3rd District and I was so impressed by the icons there...really amazing!
There is a big difference between different schools in orthodox iconography. I'm no expert, but I've heard of at least three schools in Bulgaria, which have their own peculiarities.
This monastery has experienced a lot and has remained as one of the centers of the Orthodox Christianity.
