This collection consists of digital images of icons found in the iconostasis of the Chapel of Saint George which lies beneath the Church of Saint Nicholas in Beit Jala, near Bethlehem.
The Chapel of Saint George is all that remains of an ancient monastery built around a network of caves where Saint Nicholas is held to have lived during his pilgrimage to the Holy Land in the 3rd century CE.
The majority of the icons in this collection date from the early to mid 19th century.
