Iconography & Symbolism
The Christ the Savior Icon (Greek: Χριστός Ὁ Σωτήρ) is one of the most common and beloved depictions of Jesus Christ in Orthodox iconography. It shows Christ blessing with His right hand and holding the Gospel in His left, symbolizing His divine authority as Teacher, Redeemer, and Judge.

Next to His head are the Greek letters IC XC, an abbreviation for “Jesus Christ.” Within His halo is the cross inscribed with Ω Ο Ν (Omega, Omicron, Nu) – “He Who Is,” the name of God revealed to Moses, affirming His eternal divinity.

The Christ the Savior icon emphasizes the love, mercy, and wisdom of the Lord. It is a powerful reminder of His role as the Light of the world and the Redeemer of mankind.

Feast Day
The Transfiguration of Christ (August 6) and the Feast of the Savior (August 16) are particularly associated with this title, though the image of Christ the Savior is venerated throughout the year.
