How to analyze this religious icon? And why represent Christ?
If we depict Jesus Christ on icons, it is often to represent God the Father through him.
Showing the face of Christ amounts to showing the physical form that God took to incarnate on Earth.
We therefore bear witness through this religious icon that this incarnation of God in Jesus the Son is indeed a reality in which we have faith.
Additionally, Orthodox icons convey more information than a simple sentence could. By analyzing every little detail, you will receive important messages that the artist (very often a Christian religious) wanted to convey to you.
Here for example, the right hand of Jesus Christ very clearly makes a particular sign, which must be interpreted as a blessing.
The book He holds in His left hand corresponds in all likelihood to the Gospels, and therefore symbolizes the message that Jesus came to share with us.
On the edges of the icon we can see two pairs of letters: "IC" and "XC". This is a christogram, that is to say an abbreviation used to represent the name of Christ.
We can also be interested in Christ's outfit. This is the Byzantine imperial toga, symbol of the political and religious power of the Orthodox world.
Often, specialists designate this tunic as associated with the qualities of purity and perfection specific to divine nature.
With all these keys to understanding in hand (even if there are of course others in which we invite you to take an interest), it now appears clearly: this icon of Jesus Christ is there to pay homage to him and for us remind us of the role it must have in our lives.
