Orthodox Icon of Christ
The hand-painted icon of the Pantocrator, also known as the Savior Almighty, is one of the most famous and significant icons in Christian iconography. It depicts Christ as the Almighty, the Lord of the world and the universe. In the icon of the Pantocrator, Christ is usually depicted in full height, standing in the center of the icon. He appears with a lofty pose and a powerful expression on his face. One hand of Christ is raised in a gesture of blessing, and the other hand holds an open Gospel, symbolizing the spiritual teaching and preaching of Christ. Jesus Christ is depicted wearing a long robe, usually red or white, which symbolizes his divine dignity and righteousness. His head is surrounded by a halo, indicating his holiness and divine origin.
Often on an icon the Savior Christ appears with two angels who stand on either side of his head and offer him homage. Sometimes there are other elements of symbolism on the icon, such as a book with seven seals, symbolizing divine knowledge and wisdom.
The icon of the Lord Almighty has a deep spiritual significance for believers. It reminds of the authority and power of the Lord, who is the Almighty of all things, but is also the source of mercy and salvation. The icon of the Savior is placed in a central place in the church, on the iconostasis or in the home altar to symbolize the centrality of Christ in the life and faith of believers.
