JESUS WITH BIBLE

This Icon is the artist’s interpretation of Jesus with the Bible Around Christ’s head is a halo, and almost universal symbol of holiness. Inside of Christ’s halo is the Cross – the Cross of Salvation – although only three arms are visible; the three arms make up a Holy Trinity. Upon the three arms are the Greek letters (omega, omicron, nu) which literally means “the being” or “He who is”. To any Orthodox or Catholic Christian, Jesus’ right hand is shown as being raised to give a blessing. The arrangement of the hand, the fingers spell out the four-letter Christo-gram “IC XC”’. The three fingers of Christ as well as spelling out “I” and “X” declare the Tri-unity of God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The touching finger and thumb of Jesus not only spell out “C” representing the incarnation to join the divine. The book held in Christ’s left hand is adorned with the cross, identifying it as the Gospels.Jesus is shown wearing a red robe. The red symbolizes divinity, whilst the green/blue symbolizes humanity. Thus Jesus Christ is by nature divine. Finally, there are two angels to the right and left of Christ. The Angels are heralds of God. The artwork is copyright ownership and patented design.
