This hand-crafted icon depicts Jesus Christ, shown in the traditional Byzantine style as the eternal Lord and Savior of mankind.
Christ is presented frontally with a calm and solemn expression, reflecting divine wisdom, mercy, and spiritual authority. The halo behind His head bears the traditional Christogram “IC XC,” affirming His divine identity within Orthodox Christian iconography.
His garments are painted in deep blue and red tones, symbolizing both His divinity and His incarnation as God made man. The golden cross-shaped halo emphasizes His sacrifice, resurrection, and eternal kingship. The refined facial features and carefully illuminated details follow the sacred artistic traditions preserved by Byzantine iconographers for centuries.
The background is covered with genuine 24-karat gold leaf, carefully applied by hand. The gold used is real 24K gold. Decorative silver-toned borders and subtle ornamental details enhance the sacred beauty of the icon while maintaining the timeless simplicity of traditional Orthodox iconography. The pigments are specially prepared traditional mixtures, following the authentic methods used in historic Byzantine icon painting.
These materials make the icon highly durable and resistant, allowing it to be preserved for hundreds of years, as seen in surviving ancient icons and church treasures. Each icon is authentic and handmade by skilled iconographers. Every stage of the process is completed entirely by hand with exceptional care, devotion, and attention to detail.
The wooden panel is specially selected and prepared by an expert woodcarver, ensuring stability, durability, and superior craftsmanship.
