Icon of Christ Pantocrator *NEW RELEASE*

This icon of Christ Pantocrator is the most common of the Byzantine representations, and ranks among those of Christ in Glory. His look alludes to judgement, and His right hand held in blessing, shows His tender authority. Christ holds the Gospel, a testament to its truth, and indicating that He is the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets. The red tunic depicts divinity as well as His shed blood for us, with the green cloak representing His human nature. The original, painted in 1260, can be found in an iconostasis in the Greek monastery of Chilandar, on Mount Athos.

This icon image is mounted on a 7" x 9 1/2" wood panel by the monastery monks in Abbaye Saint-Joseph de Clairval in France. Color of product may vary from the picture.
