Crucifixion – Serigraph on Naturally Aged Wood – Mount Athos

Description

Icon of the Crucifixion on Naturally Aged Wood

This icon of the Lord’s Crucifixion features the cross of Christ as the central element. The Cross consists of a vertical beam and three horizontal ones: the large one where His hands were nailed, a small one as a footrest, and one above His head as a sign that reads the reason for His condemnation.

To the right of the Cross, the Virgin Mary is depicted. She is in deep sorrow but does not burst into tears. She participates in the Passion of Her Son with dignity. She consents to the love of God and willingly offers herself for the sacrifice. Jesus, on the Cross, leans His body towards Her. The crucifixion and death of Christ are also a profound mystery for the Virgin Mary.

On the other side of the Cross, the young Evangelist John is depicted. His gaze is directed downward. He is contemplative and sorrowful about the mystery of the Divine Passion unfolding before his eyes.

In the “Athonite Heritage,” you will find collectible icons made from naturally aged wood from the Garden of the Virgin, crafted by Athonite monks.

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

The icon is available upon request.
