Christ Almighty Icon

This hand-painted Christ Almighty Icon presents Our Lord Jesus Christ in a solemn frontal portrait. Christ is shown with a calm and direct gaze, long dark hair, and a beard, surrounded by a luminous gold halo. The compact vertical format makes this icon particularly suitable for personal devotion and smaller prayer spaces.  Painted with traditional egg tempera on a thick natural wood panel, the icon combines established Orthodox iconographic technique with detailed gilding and protective varnish.

Iconography and Symbolism:

The frontal presentation of Christ draws the viewer directly into prayer and contemplation. His expression conveys divine authority, peace, and mercy, while the traditional features of His face follow the established language of Orthodox iconography. The halo surrounding Christ signifies His divine glory. The Greek inscriptions “IC XC” identify Him as Jesus Christ, while the sacred monogram within the halo further emphasizes His divine identity. Christ’s red and blue garments carry traditional iconographic meaning. The red garment points to His divine majesty and glory, while the blue tones recall His true humanity. The carefully modeled highlights on the face create the characteristic luminous quality of Byzantine-inspired icon painting.
