Iconography & Symbolism
The Christ Pantocrator (Greek: Ruler of All) is the central icon of the Orthodox Church and one of the most ancient images of Christ. He is depicted blessing with His right hand and holding the Gospel in His left, representing His dual role as merciful Teacher and righteous Judge.

Next to His head appear the Greek letters IC XC, the abbreviation for “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, affirming Christ’s eternal divinity.

The Pantocrator icon is often placed in the central dome or iconostasis of Orthodox churches, symbolizing Christ’s sovereignty over heaven and earth. It is a reminder of His presence, guidance, and judgment.

Feast Day
The image of Christ Pantocrator is especially honored every Sunday, the day of the Resurrection, and throughout the Paschal season.
