The term Deisis, derived from the Greek, means prayer. The Deisis row is one of the basic elements of an early Russian Iconostasis. It is the focal point of the iconostasis consisting of Christ flanked by Mary and John the Baptist. Mary is turned inward toward her son in an attitude of prayer. She holds a scroll on which is written: "Ruler Most Gracious, Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God".
