Description
This icon, the Apostles' Communion, is often seen in the sanctuaries of Orthodox Churches. In it, Christ is depicted as the High Priest and prototypical celebrant the Mystical Supper of the Holy Eucharist, distributing it to his Apostles. In the words of the Divine Liturgy:
"You are the One Who both offers and is offered, the One Who is received and is distributed, O Christ our God, and to You we offer up glory, with Your Father, Who is without beginning, and Your all-holy and good and life-creating Spirit, now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen." – Prayer of the Cherubic Hymn
We see Christ holding the chalice of his own Body and Blood, offering it to us while he receives the same offering from us. This paradox is at the heart of our Christian faith, and by this mystery we are cleansed, healed, and sanctified. This powerful image is a reminder and a celebration of this truth of our redemption.
This icon is offered by Legacy Icons with the permission of the iconographer, Brian Matthew Whirledge.
