Love the icon of Jesus.

Beautiful and comforting to the soul when I hold it.

Those who question the hand positionIn Greek Orthodox iconography, as also in early Christian iconography, the gesture of the blessing hand actually shapes the letters IC XC, an abbreviation for the Greek words Jesus (IHCOYC) Christ (XPICTOC) which includes the first and last letter of each word. The hand that blesses reproduces, with gestures, the Name of Jesus, the “Name above every name.”The way the fingers are grouped also conveys a message.In addition to shaping letters, the gesture of blessing made by Christ also conveys doctrinal truths. The three fingers used to spell the I and X also represent the Trinity, the Unity of One God in three Persons, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Bringing the thumb and the ring finger together to touch not only forms the letter C, but also symbolizes the Incarnation, the union of the divine and human natures in the person of Christ.

I was disappointed with the quality of the icon. I had purchased another one that had more gold and didn’t look so dull. The picture is lacking… the wood it is on is fine

Really loved it. Still do.

I loved it. This was a gify for someone. They loved it too, but it is small.

Real wood with a sticker on the front. Not particle board. Read the dimensions!
