Christ Enthroned (Христос на престоле)

Product Description

Christ Enthroned (Христос на престоле). Also known as Christ Pantocrator (Христос Вседержитель). This is a key image of Christianity, and depicts Christ as the "Ruler of All", symbolizing His eternal authority and His teaching. As such, it's also one of the best known icons in Byzantine and Orthodox iconography. It is closely connected with the celebration of Pascha (Easter) and every Sunday, the day of the Resurrection.

Christ, seated on His throne and bestowing a blessing with His right hand, holds an open Gospel which declares, in this case, "Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment" (John 7:24). 

Superbly rendered image. 5"x 6⅜', Russia. 1 only.
