Description
Rendered in simple and elegant forms, this icon presents God’s creation of the first man: Adam. As related in the first chapter of Genesis, “…God said, ‘Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness’” (Gen. 1:26). So from the dust Adam was made and given life.
However, there is a second half to the meaning in this icon. Besides Adam the first man seated on the stone, there is the “second Adam”, the Creator, the Salvation of mankind: Christ. By his death and resurrection, He granted life to mankind while incarnate in the flesh He Himself had created.
Adam is venerated with other ancestors of Christ during the Feast of the Forefathers on the second Sunday before Christmas
Reproduced with the finest materials, this icon is certain to become a focal point of prayer in the home or church as a treasured heirloom to be preserved and venerated.
This icon is offered by Legacy Icons with the permission of the iconographer, Vladimir Grygorenko.
