LORD JESUS CHRIST PANTOKRATOR

Pantokrator (Greek: παντοκράτωρ) is the most well-known icon of Christ, representing Him as the Heavenly King and Judge. In iconography, the Pantokrator is depicted in full length, seated on a throne, either to the waist or chest. In His left hand, He holds a scroll or the Gospel, and with His right hand, He blesses. The icon of Christ Pantokrator preserved in the treasury of the Hilandar Monastery is considered the most beautiful of all Christ’s icons on the planet. During the celebration of 2000 years of Christianity in Athens and Jerusalem, it was chosen as the planetary symbol.
