Christ the Lord

The icon invites the viewer to be still and enter a timeless, eternal moment of encounter with the Holy.

It is a moment of being hosted by the compassionate, loving, truth-bearing gaze of one whose very person lives in the presence of God's transforming, all-seeing love.

To pray before such an image is to be welcomed into profound moment of communion that is timeless and without measure of the potential for the viewer to be pulifted, healed, confirmed, welcomed home.
