Christ Blessing Icon

This premium Orthodox icon is made using the traditional silkscreen technique on cotton canvas, mounted on solid natural carved wood with a raised border (kovcheg). The background features a polished gold gilding effect (burnished mirror finish), symbolizing the radiant and uncreated light of God.

It includes an integrated wooden stand for display on a desk, shelf, or prayer corner, and a hole on the back for wall hanging. The icon is varnished for lasting protection and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Iconography & Symbolism
The Christ Blessing Icon (Greek: Ὁ Χριστός ὁ Εὐλογῶν) shows the Lord Jesus Christ raising His right hand in blessing while holding the Gospel in His left — a symbol of divine teaching and mercy. The gesture of blessing forms the Greek letters IC XC, a sign of His holy name.

Next to His head are the Greek letters IC XC, meaning “Jesus Christ.” Inside His halo is the cross inscribed with Ω Ο Ν (Omega, Omicron, Nu) – “He Who Is,” testifying to His eternal divine being. The calm expression and luminous gold background remind the faithful of His compassion, authority, and peace.

The Christ Blessing image is one of the most widespread representations of the Savior in Orthodox iconography, suitable for both churches and homes as a central image of prayer and devotion.
