This joyful hand-painted icon captures the triumphant entry of Christ into Jerusalem, celebrated on Palm Sunday—a feast filled with both majesty and humility. Created in the traditional Byzantine style using egg tempera and adorned with genuine 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on hand-carved, asymmetrical natural wood, giving each piece a sense of sacred individuality.
Riding meekly on a donkey, Christ is welcomed by crowds waving palm and olive branches, proclaiming Him as the King and Messiah. This moment, rich in prophetic fulfillment, marks the beginning of His Passion and the path toward resurrection. The icon is a powerful reminder of divine kingship revealed through peace and self-emptying love.
