Icon of Jesus Christ - Omnipotent, Pantocrator. The icon was painted in the 21st century in Bulgaria, entirely by hand on wood. The condition is good. Material - wood, tempera. The Almighty or Pantocrator is the earliest and main iconographic image of Christ in the Christian East, representing the Savior as Heavenly King and Judge. Christ's gaze is both stern and kind, nostalgic. This image of the Savior most fully reveals His divine and human nature. The Savior's right hand is usually raised in blessing. In his left hand he holds the gospel and a staff. A nimbus with a cross painted on it depicts the face of Christ, and in or near it are the letters IC and XC representing the Christogram ICXC (Jesus Christ).
