Orthodox Icon of Lord Almighty
A hand-painted icon of the Lord Almighty depicts Christ as Heavenly King and Judge. In the center of the icon is an image of Christ, usually full-length, with a lofty pose and majestic expression. He usually holds an open Gospel in one hand, symbolizing spiritual teaching, and raises his right hand in a gesture of blessing. Christ is usually depicted wearing a long robe that covers his shoulders and legs and is clothed in a mantle that is sometimes decorated with gold or precious designs. His head is usually surrounded by a halo, indicating his holiness and divinity.
An icon of the Savior often features additional elements of symbolism. For example, Jesus may hold a globe symbolizing his dominion over the world. There may also be archangels or saints who stand on either side of Christ, calling for worship and service.
This icon has a special significance in the Orthodox tradition. It reminds the faithful that the Lord is the all-powerful Ruler of all things and at the same time the Judge who rewards the faithful and judges the wicked. The icon of the Lord Almighty is often placed in a central place in a home altar or on an iconostasis in a church to symbolize the centrality of Christ in the lives of the faithful.
The description of the icon may vary slightly in different artistic interpretations and styles of iconography, but the overall meaning and symbolism remains the same. The iconography of Christ the Savior serves as a reminder of his power, justice and mercy, and the faithful offer him their prayers and insights into various aspects of life.
