Iconography & Symbolism
The Christ Pantocrator (Greek: Ruler of All) is one of the most important and widely recognized icons of the Orthodox Church. Christ is shown blessing with His right hand while holding the Gospel in His left, symbolizing His dual role as merciful Teacher and righteous Judge.

Next to His head appear the Greek letters IC XC, an abbreviation of “Jesus Christ.” Within His halo is the cross inscribed with Ω Ο Ν (Omega, Omicron, Nu) – “He Who Is,” the divine name revealed to Moses (Exodus 3:14), affirming Christ’s eternal divinity.

The Pantocrator icon is central to Orthodox theology, proclaiming Christ as Lord of heaven and earth, present in every church, home, and heart. The decorated halo and Gospel emphasize His authority, wisdom, and eternal Word.

Feast Day
The image of Christ Pantocrator is honored every Sunday, the day of the Resurrection, and especially during Pascha (Easter).
