Wood Carved Icon: Christ Pantocrator

The Christ Pantocrator icon is an exceptional example of the creativity and wisdom of the monks at Mount Athos. Christ Pantocrator is depicted in his stern form with his penetrating gaze. He looks deeply into the eyes of the viewer as the Omnipresent and All-Filling God and Judge. The Lord’s gaze pierces through the viewer’s eyes, making them feel awe and respect before the vastness of God.

The monks at Mount Athos are known for their unparalleled craftsmanship in creating wood-carved objects. This art is especially evident in the beautiful iconostases they create for the holy temples of their monasteries and cells, as well as the wood-carved icons they make.

The image of Christ Pantocrator on canvas, placed on wood which is skillfully crafted by the monks with passion and care, is an excellent example of their tireless work for the glory of God.
