Handmade Wooden Greek Orthodox Icon “Christ Pantocrator of Sinai” 46x30cm – Byzantine Icon of the Ancient Pantocrator

The “Christ Pantocrator of Sinai” is one of the oldest and most famous surviving icons of Christ, preserved at Saint Catherine’s Monastery on Mount Sinai and dated to about the 6th century. In this icon, Christ is depicted holding the Gospel in His left hand and blessing with His right, with a slightly asymmetrical face that theologians interpret as expressing both His mercy and His justice. This image has become a prototype for countless later depictions of Christ Pantocrator throughout the Orthodox world.​This 46x30cm handmade wooden icon, modeled on the Sinai original, is a large and striking piece, ideal as a main focal point in a home prayer corner, living room, office, chapel, or church. The natural wood panel and careful Byzantine-style rendering bring out the characteristic colors and expressive details of Christ’s face, eyes, and Gospel book, creating a powerful spiritual presence in any space. It is a distinguished and blessed choice for lovers of traditional iconography who desire a faithful reproduction of the historic Christ Pantocrator of Sinai in their home or place of worship.
