The Significance of Jesus Christ

A lithography with the representation of Christ blessing the world. A wonderful artwork by following the technique instilled in Mount Athos - one of the most beloved pictorial themes. This image depicts The Christ of Blessings, who with his right hand raised blesses the faithful. Jesus Christ gives his blessing to the people for whom he came into the world, suffered and was eventually crucified. He offered his life to save and save man from sin, decay and death. Christ does not deny anyone his blessing and it was He who always approached alone not only the righteous, but also the misguided to stand by them and show them God's way. With his hand, therefore, he blesses the whole world, showing his boundless love for each one of us.

In this artwork the technique of lithography is used, creating a unique work of beauty. Based on a lithographed copy of Byzantine art, the hagiographer painted this work abiding to the traditional method of artificial ageing, as taught in the iconography workshops of the Athonian State. In fact, the artificial ageing of the iconography is handmade, a process given particular attention by the monks of Mount Athos.
