The exhibition is conceived as "a joint statement of intent. "Ideally, we as curators of the exhibition would like to indicate the trend in contemporary art, one way or another developing Christian culture today," - said the organizers. According to them, in the works of the exhibition "theological themes, references to Christian culture can be traced clearly and at the same time carefully and non-speculative, combining at the same time with the actual living artistic language of their works."

In recent years the relations of the museum community and the ROC deteriorated after it became aware of the impending mass transfer of cultural heritage of state ownership in the church. In addition, the scandals have provoked the decision to transfer the old icons from the stores of museums in the temples.
