This is a premium quality silkscreen icon, handmade with gold leaf on cotton canvas and mounted on solid natural carved wood.

The icon is ready for hanging, featuring a leather strap on the back, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Iconography & Symbolism
The Christ the Good Shepherd Icon is a beloved image of Jesus, drawing on His words from John 10: “I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.” In this icon, Christ is shown carrying a lamb on His shoulders or surrounded by sheep, symbolizing His tender care, sacrifice, and guidance for His flock.

As in all icons of Christ, the letters IC XC (Jesus Christ) appear beside Him, and His halo contains the cross inscribed with Ω Ο Ν (Omega, Omicron, Nu) – “He Who Is,” the divine name revealed to Moses, affirming His eternal divinity.

This icon reminds the faithful of Christ’s loving protection, His search for the lost, and His role as the Shepherd of souls leading them to eternal life.

Feast Day
The theme of Christ the Good Shepherd is especially remembered during the Sunday of the Paralytic (in Paschaltide) and in connection with Pascha, though it is honored throughout the year as a symbol of Christ’s care for His people.
