Christ Blessing Icon

This Orthodox icon is handmade in Greece using the traditional silkscreen technique on cotton canvas. Genuine gold leaf is applied by hand, creating a warm and luminous background that reflects divine light. The icon is mounted on solid wood, varnished for durability, and includes a certificate of authenticity. Each piece arrives gift-ready in a stylish box and ships express worldwide.

Iconography and Symbolism
The Christ Blessing Icon (Greek: Ὁ Χριστός Ὁ Εὐλογῶν) portrays Jesus Christ raising His right hand in blessing and holding the Gospel in His left hand. This gesture forms the Greek letters IC XC, symbolizing His holy name. The open Gospel represents divine truth and the eternal Word of God.

Next to His head appear the letters IC XC (Jesus Christ), and inside His halo is the cross inscribed with Ω Ο Ν – “He Who Is,” affirming His divine nature. The calm expression of Christ reflects mercy, wisdom, and peace, while the gold background represents the glory of heaven and His eternal kingship.

Feast Day
Honored throughout the year, especially during Theophany (January 6) and Pascha (Easter).
