They were made by unknown artist and survived the earthquake in 1904. The iconostasis was made in a precious way. The carvings on the portals and frames are gilt. Eight interesting scenes from the Six Days are painted into oval medallions. The three carved crucifixes with dragon figures are put over the portals. The eight king icons were painted in 1849 by unknown artist.
