Cross With Framed Icons Inside The Chapel Of St John

This image captures the interior of the Chapel of St. John in the Old City of Jerusalem, showcasing the cross above the church's altar. The cross is old and ornate, featuring intricate golden floral leaf decorations that add to its historical and sacred appearance. At the center of the cross, a painting depicts Jesus Christ hanging on it, while each corner of the cross is adorned with additional paintings that feature biblical and angelic figures, enhancing the religious significance of the artwork. Flanking the cross on both sides are framed paintings of the Virgin Mary, each encased in an elaborately gilded wooden ornamental frame that reflects the church's ancient style. The setting emphasizes the Chapel's historical and spiritual significance, being the oldest church in Jerusalem, originally constructed in the mid-5th century and subsequently restored after the Persian destruction in 614.

Church Of The Holy Sepulchre Interior With Greek Orthodox Catholicon Dome And Christ Pantocrator Mosaic
Church Of The Holy Sepulchre Interior With Greek Orthodox Catholicon Dome And Christ Pantocrator Mosaic

This image provides a stunning view of the interior dome of the Greek Orthodox Catholicon, located inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Old City of Jerusalem. Taken from below, the image offers a panoramic view that captures the grandeur of the architecture and the sacred art adorning the dome. Large arches and marble columns support the structure, framing the central focus of the dome: the magnificent Christ Pantocrator mosaic. At the heart of the dome is the image of Christ Pantocrator, representing Jesus Christ as the ruler of the world. The mosaic is rich in detail and spiritual symbolism, portraying Christ with a halo containing the Christogram—Greek letters "IC" and "XC," which stand for "Jesus Christ." Inside the halo, the Cross is depicted with three arms, each bearing a Greek letter—"O ώ N" (omega, omicron, nu)—representing the phrase "He who is." This refers to God's self-revelation to Moses in the Book of Exodus and is reiterated in the Book of Revelation, emphasizing Christ’s divinity and eternal nature. Christ holds an ornate, gilded book in his left hand, symbolizing the Gospels, while his right hand is raised in a gesture of Eucharistic blessing. Surrounding Christ are key church leaders and saints from the Eastern Orthodox tradition, highlighting the connection between Christ and the church’s theological history. In the corners of the mosaic, the Four Evangelists—Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John—are depicted, gazing towards Christ, further underscoring his central role in Christian faith.
