Icon of Christ Pantocrator
Icon of Christ pantocrator, hand painted in Romania.
Hand painted icon in Romania depicting the Christ Pantocrator.
In icons, Christ is often depicted with a book, which can be open or closed. The open book contains a quote from the Gospel. The book can also be represented in the form of a scroll, but the symbolic interpretation is always the same: the saving teaching, with which Christ came into the world. Usually the God-man is depicted dressed in a red tunic-shaped robe and a blue cloak. The red color is a symbol of the earthly human nature of the Savior, the blue one of the heavenly and divine nature. Christ is depicted frontally, even if a slight twist is perceived, His gaze always goes beyond.
