Crucifixion – Serigraph on Naturally Aged Wood – Mount Athos

Description

Icon of the Crucifixion on Naturally Aged Wood

A beautiful serigraph depicting the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

This is one of the most well-known iconographic themes, as the Crucifixion represents the supreme sacrifice of Christ and holds a prominent place in Christian religion. At the center of the image stands the Cross of martyrdom, with the Virgin Mary positioned beneath and to the right of it, accompanied by three other women, known as the Three Marys, including Mary Magdalene. On the left stands Jesus’ beloved disciple and apostle, Saint John the Theologian.

The Crucifixion of Christ is considered the supreme sacrifice, an act of love unparalleled by Jesus for all of humanity. For this reason, the cross is regarded as the principal symbol of the Orthodox Church and Christian religion in general, as it serves as a reminder of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the salvation of humanity through His Passion and death. It thus symbolizes both Christ Himself and the faith of Christians.

The unique aesthetic value of this icon lies in the old wood from a restored cell, the cracks of which bear witness to its years of life on Mount Athos, and at the same time lend it authenticity.

As the icon is handmade and the wood is treated by hand, there may be slight variations in the wood, but not in the depiction.

The icon is available upon order.
