Description
This beautiful and powerful Orthodox Christian icon is known as “Pantocrator”- Omnipotent, Almighty, All-Powerful. In the earliest days of the Christian worship, when Roman persecution swirled around the daily life of Orthodox Catholic Christians, the icon most often seen in the Catacombs was the Good Shepherd, the Lord who comforts His flock. Later, new threats came upon the maturing Church from outside as various invasions of barbarians- Huns, Vandals, Goths, and Muslims- threatened the homelands of many Christians who thirsted again for an emphasis on the Almighty God who sat enthroned as Emperor, Monarch, and Ruler. Thus, came about the Pantocrater icons, serving as reminders of God’s ultimate control of all human events and the eternity of His coming kingdom. As recorded in the book of Revelation: "'I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End', says the Lord, 'Who is and Who was and Who is to come, the Almighty ("Pantocrator")'" (Rev. 1:8, OSB).
The icon of Christ Pantocrator is often the most remote in atmosphere of all the conventional poses. In some icons, such as the famous Mount Sinai Pantocrater, Christ seems distant from us and His face is depicted in a stern or authoritative gaze. However, this is tempered by the hand He raises in blessing, granting peace and strength to the faithful, as well as the good news of salvation contained in the Gospels He holds.
May you also find peace and courage in the truth by venerating the icon of Christ Pantocrator.
