PRODUCT INFORMATION
8 x 10.25 x 3/4 inch icon on solid wood stock.
This copy of an ancient Greek icon has beautiful gold and silver foil finishes.
Produced by hand with the greatest possible fidelity to the original on paper and wood.
Made in Canada.
Comes in protective heavy plastic.
MPN: 084LS
Christ blesses us with His right hand, His fingers formed into the shape of the Greek letters “IC XC,” the abbreviation in Greek for Jesus Christ, and He holds in His left arm a jewel-studded Book of the Gospels. From the prototype of the first icon of Christ, miraculously made by the Saviour Himself, He is traditionally shown with a short beard and long dark hair with reddish highlights, parted in the middle. His expression is serious but merciful, to evoke from us a serious and loving response, as the Truth is both sober and yet hopeful for us.
Christ is shown with an outer blue robe, symbolizing the Humanity that He put on at His Incarnation, and with an inner red robe, representing His Divinity that remains for all eternity. In the cross in the nimbus or halo around His head are the Greek letters for “I AM” to remind us that although Incarnate in time, Jesus Christ is God before the ages, before Abraham, and is the God Who spoke with Moses face to face.
