agree  Ovidiu Matiu: As adauga faptul ca termenul "molenia" trebuie mentionat in nota traducatorului cu explicatia ca provine din limba slava, inseamna "rugaciune," si ca in Ortodoxia rasariteana termenul se refera la cele doua icoane plasate in dr. si st. crucii!

crucifix/christian cross with (side) images of saints/saintly characters in prayer


Explanation:
molénie, molénii, s.f. (înv.) rugăciune.
Sursa: DAR | Trimisă de blaurb, 12 Jul 2006 | Greşeală de tipar
http://dexonline.ro/search.php?cuv=molenie

Sus de tot, deasupra tamplei, in mijloc, se inalta Crucea pe care este zugravit Mantuitorul rastignit, iar la picioarele Crucii, sub bratul ei trans­versal, in doua iconite mai mici, se infatiseaza cele doua "moleme" (molene: sau molenii), adica la dreapta Mantuitorului sta Maica Domnului, iar in stanga Sf. Ioan Evanghelistul, amandoi stand in picioare in atitudine de adorare, de rugaciune, ori de jelire.

http://www.crestinortodox.ro/Pictura_catapetesmei-232-7424.h...

este sau un crucifix sau reprezentarea lui insotit de "molenii" - figuri de sfinti ortodoxi in rugaciune
echivalent nu exista, ortodoxii de limba engleza nu sunt prea multi:)
