Serbian orthodox church of The Holy Trinity on May 5th.
The Iconostasis does not really "separate" the nave from the Holy of Holies; rather, it brings them together. The Iconostasis shapes thus a link between heaven (the Holy of Holies) and the nave (The Holy Place).
Therefore, everything is symbolic upon the Iconostasis. In a sense the Iconostasis represents Christ, who is the connection, the doorway, the passage between both realms.
All three gates remain open in the period closely following Easter, the preeminent Christian feast that celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
