Last Supper Painting From 1870 Inside The Chapel Of St John In Jerusalem

Last Supper Painting From 1870 Inside The Chapel Of St John In Jerusalem

In this historical depiction, we find an ancient painting inside the Chapel of St. John in the old city of Jerusalem. The artwork, dating back to the year 1870, portrays the iconic scene of the Last Supper as told in the Gospel of John. The painting captures the solemn moment following Jesus' announcement of betrayal, a poignant narrative within Christian tradition. The painting bears the marks of time, evident in its weathered appearance. Some peeling and stains, acquired over the years, contribute to the aged charm of the artwork, emphasizing its historical significance. The wear and tear become a part of the painting's story, reflecting the passage of time and the countless individuals who have interacted with this sacred depiction. The inscription at the bottom of the painting, written in both Greek and Arabic languages, serves as a testament to its origin and custodianship. It states that the painting was created in the year 1870, under the care of Jeries Hanania and Issa Kirt. This inscription provides valuable context, linking the artwork to specific individuals and a particular moment in history. The painting becomes more than a mere representation of the Last Supper; it becomes a tangible artifact, a testament to the enduring nature of faith and artistic expression across centuries. Its presence in the old city of Jerusalem connects worshippers and visitors alike to the sacred narrative and the historical custodians who preserved this meaningful artwork over time.

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.
