Pantocrator


Pantocrator is the best icon I ever seen. when I saw this icon, I felt indescribable divinity. I heard that the icon is the oldest known surviving example of the icon of Christ Pantocrator painted in the sixth or seventh century. He held the newtastement with his left hand and gives blessing with his right hand. you can notice both side of his face look different. his left eye is bigger ,and his left eye brow is being lifted a little. right side of his face symbolize deity and left side symbolize humanity.
