Orthodox Icon of Christ Pantocrator

Our Lord, God & Savior Jesus Christ, Please do not deep-link to any of our icons.
Christ Pantocrator

Troparion (Tone 2)
We reverence thy spotless icon, O gracious Lord, and ask forgiveness of our transgressions, O Christ our God: for of thine own good will thou wast pleased to ascend the Cross in the flesh, that thou mightest deliver from bondage to the enemy those whom thou hadst fashioned. Wherefore, we cry aloud unto Thee: Thou hast filled all things with joy, O our Savior, for Thou didst come to save the world.

Christ is depicted with his right hand raised in blessing. In his left hand is the Gospel Book This icon was written to depict the fact that Christ is both the ruler of all, thus our Judge, and the Savior of the world. The right half of his face (from the viewer's perspective) shows Him to be the Judge who sees all; the left: our merciful Savior.

This Icon is from the first half of the 6th century. Original is at St. Catherine's Monastery in Egypt.

This is also available as a laminated prayer card with The "Jesus" Prayer on the back.
