Spas Vsederzhitel Set For Bead Embroidery

Embroidery Icons is a laborious and fascinating process that requires concentration and develops the imagination. The finished icon can be presented as a gift to loved ones or you leave in your own home as a decoration and protection from harm and misfortune.

The Christ the Almighty icon is very typical of those found in Orthodox churches and homes, and is called Pantokrator (Gr: meaning “Almighty”). Jesus Christ “the Almighty” is a powerful title attesting to Jesus’ divinity and so it is unsurprising that Christ’s face is often found to be stern on such Icons.  Around Christ’s head is a halo, an almost universal symbol of holiness.
