Description:
Jesus holds our gaze with poise and authority. His right hand blesses us, the left hand holds a gospel book. He wears a red tunic, symbolizing his human nature, wrapped in a blue cloak, symbolizing his divine nature. In the halo are inscribed the three Greek letters omega, omicron and nu, abbreviating the phrase “I am who am”. All icons of Jesus Christ must include this essential symbol to show he is the living image, or icon of God the Father; “I and the Father are one.”
