Iconography & Symbolism
The Christ Pantocrator (Greek: Χριστός Παντοκράτωρ, “Ruler of All”) is one of the most ancient and revered icons in Orthodox Christianity. Christ is depicted blessing with His right hand while holding the Gospel in His left, representing His two roles as Merciful Savior and Righteous Judge.

Next to His head appear the Greek letters IC XC, the abbreviation of “Jesus Christ.” Inside His halo is the cross inscribed with Ω Ο Ν (Omega, Omicron, Nu) – “He Who Is,” the divine name revealed to Moses, affirming His eternal divinity. The Pantocrator embodies both divine authority and compassion, showing Christ as the living Word who sustains all creation.

This image is often placed in the dome or iconostasis of Orthodox churches and is considered the central icon of Christ in Orthodox theology.

Feast Day
The Christ Pantocrator icon is honored every Sunday, the weekly celebration of Christ’s Resurrection, and especially during Pascha (Easter).
