Iconography & Symbolism
The Christ Pantocrator Icon (Greek for “Ruler of All”) is one of the most central images in Orthodox iconography. Christ is depicted blessing with His right hand while holding the Gospel in His left. His halo is decorated with intricate patterns and contains the cross with the Greek letters Ω Ο Ν (Omega, Omicron, Nu) – “He Who Is,” the divine name revealed to Moses.
Next to His head appear the letters IC XC, a standard abbreviation of the Greek for “Jesus Christ.” The decorated halo in this version emphasizes the majesty and glory of the Pantocrator, highlighting Christ as Judge, Teacher, and Eternal King.
Feast Day
The image of Christ Pantocrator is celebrated on every Sunday, the day of the Resurrection, and is especially honored during Pascha (Easter).
