Icon's History

16th-century icon of Christ the Pantocrator. As defined in Christian iconography, Christ Pantocrator dominates the central dome of all Byzantine churches. If the church lacks a dome, the icon of Christ is depicted in the center of the church's ceiling. In this version of the icon, Jesus is portrayed with a stern look yet with evident love, wearing a golden halo, blessing with his right hand, and holding the Gospel close to his chest with his left. The original work, inspiring the iconographer, is located in Sifnos, on the sacred rock of Chrysopigi, in the famous monastery of 1650, the Holy Monastery of Panagia Chrysopigi.
