The paper analyses rarely depicted iconographic themes painted in the 18th-century parecclesia of the Chilandar monastery. The paper focuses on the cycles of Genesis and St Demetrios in the parecclesion of St Demetrios, the images of Serbian and Bulgarian saints and rulers and the cycles of St Sava of Serbia, the parables of Jesus Christ and the Apocalypse, painted in the parecclesion of St Sava of Serbia, the image of St Christopher Kynokefalos and the compositions of Christ with Bleeding Wounds (Fons Pietatis), the Holy Trinity represented as Christ with three heads and six arms, and the Elevation of the Holy Cross in the Church of the Protecting Veil of the Holy Virgin, as well as the Suffering and Healing of St John of Damascus in front of the Icon of the Holy Virgin, which was painted in the Church of the Nativity of the Holy Virgin. The second part of the paper analyses the stylistic features of the 18th-century paintings on the walls of seven parecclesia in Chilandar.
