Russian Orthodox Icon Painting Depicting Saint Veronica Of Jerusalem

Russian Orthodox Icon Painting Depicting Saint Veronica Of Jerusalem

This image displays a Russian Orthodox icon painting, encased in a wooden frame, hung on an old stone wall. The icon portrays Saint Veronica of Jerusalem, a figure central to Christian tradition. In the painting, Saint Veronica is depicted holding a white veil, known as the Veil of Veronica, which bears the image of Jesus Christ's face, crowned with thorns. According to Church tradition, Saint Veronica offered this veil to Jesus as he carried the cross on his way to Golgotha. Moved by compassion, she provided the cloth to Jesus to wipe his forehead, and in return, the image of his face was miraculously imprinted on the fabric. This moment is captured in the painting, with the delicate, sacred image of Christ appearing clearly on the veil in her hands.

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.
