This reverent hand-painted icon portrays Christ as the Great High Priest, a powerful image rooted in the Epistle to the Hebrews, where Christ is revealed as the eternal intercessor between God and humanity. Painted in the traditional Byzantine style with egg tempera and enriched with genuine 22K gold leaf, the icon is mounted on asymmetrically hand-carved natural wood, emphasizing the majesty and sacrificial love of the Lord.
Depicted in hierarchical vestments, Christ blesses with one hand while holding the Gospel in the other—a symbol of His divine authority and the truth of His word. This icon is a profound reminder of His eternal priesthood and the offering of Himself as the Lamb of God for the salvation of the world.
