Byzantine Silver Icon of Jesus Christ

This exquisite Byzantine serigraphy icon, crafted from pure Silver 925* and enhanced with PVD for lasting durability, depicting Jesus Christ Lifegiver / Pantocrator Enthroned while adhering to the esteemed Athonian technique. Its intricate artistry not only conveys deep religious significance but also enhances the aesthetic appeal of any setting. 

Jesus Christ, hailing from Nazareth in Judea, was a Jewish preacher and teacher as well as a leader. According to the beliefs He is the incarnation of the second person of the Holy Trinity, the one true God and creator of the universe. His miraculous birth, sinless life, unparalleled teachings, countless miracles, death, and glorious resurrection bestow upon him the title of the God-man who has saved, saves, and will continue to save humanity from decay and spiritual death.

 The vivid representation of Jesus Christ the Life Giver, the only real winner over death, presented strict but fair. With his cruciform sacrifice he won death and sin and brought to the world light and life. «I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies», Jesus says. According to Christianity Jesus is the very source of life — both physical life and eternal life.The word Pantocrator is of Greek origin meaning "ruler of all". Christ Pantocrator is an icon of Christ represented full or half-length and full-faced. He holds the book of the Gospels in his left hand and blesses with his right hand.

The icon portrays Christ as the Righteous Judge and the Lover of Mankind, both at the same time. The Gospel is the book by which we are judged, and the blessing proclaims God's loving kindness toward us, showing us that he is giving us his forgiveness.
Although ruler of all, Christ is not pictured with a crown or scepter as other kings of this world. The large open eyes look directly into the soul of the viewer. The high curved forehead shows wisdom. The long slender nose is a look of nobility, the small closed mouth, the silence of contemplation.

It is the tradition of the Church to depict "God is with us" by having the  large Pantocrator icon inside of the central dome, or ceiling of the church.

The oldest known Pantocrator icon was written in the sixth century. It was preserved in the monastery of St. Catherine in the Sinai desert. This remote location enabled the image to survive the iconoclastic era in Byzantine history (726-815) when most icons were destroyed.

This icon is designed for versatile display; it can be hung on a wall or placed on a flat surface, making it an elegant addition to any home or sacred space. The harmonious blend of religious themes and artistic craftsmanship, along with its rich theological context, renders it a meaningful tribute to the Christian faith.
