Christ Enthroned Icon

This is a silkscreen reproduction with gold leaf and hand-painted details, crafted according to tradition. It depicts Christ Enthroned, also known as Christ Pantocrator, the Ruler of All. Christ is shown seated on a throne, blessing with His right hand and holding the Gospel in His left, symbolizing His eternal authority and His teaching.

In Orthodox iconography, Christ is inscribed with the Greek letters IC XC, an abbreviation of “Jesus Christ.” Inside His halo appears the cross with the Greek letters Ω Ο Ν (Omega, Omicron, Nu), meaning “He Who Is,” the divine name revealed to Moses (Exodus 3:14), affirming that the one seated on the throne is the eternal God incarnate.

The Christ Enthroned icon expresses the majesty of Christ as Judge, King, and High Priest. It is closely connected with the celebration of Pascha (Easter) and every Sunday, the day of the Resurrection.

The icon of Christ Enthroned (Pantocrator) is a profound gift for new homes, weddings, baptisms, ordinations, and clergy, as well as for anyone seeking Christ’s blessing and protection. It is often placed at the center of a prayer corner, reminding the faithful of Christ’s living presence and kingship.
