Jesus Christ Blessed – Sandblasting Gold Printing – Mount Athos

Description

Gold Blasting with Jesus Christ Blessed

This icon depicts Christ the Blessed, who with His right hand raised blesses the faithful. Jesus Christ gives His blessing to people, to those for whom He came into the world, suffered, and was finally crucified.

He offered his life to save and save man from sin, corruption, and death. Christ does not deny anyone his blessing, and He was the One who always single-handedly approached not only the righteous, but also the misguided to stand beside them and show them God’s way. With his hand, therefore, he blesses the whole world, showing his boundless love for each and every one of them.

Around the image you also use the technique of sandblasting, it is the technical treatment that achieves the corrosion of part or all of a surface by pouring sand under pressure.
