Face of Christ Icon


My most recent icon.

The Epistle to the Hebrews tells us that Jesus was in all things like use except for sin. He walked the earth, loved his friends, felt anxiety and pain, suffered death. And so depcictons of the human face of Jesus have had an important place in Christian art. Here is another attempt to make that connection between ourselves and this man who Christians believe was also the Son of God, and a revelation of God, in a sense that no other human being was.

The red roses stand for the Passion and Crucifixion, the lilies for the Resurrection.

Art prints of this icon, framed or unframed, are available to buy at  http://www.redbubble.com/people/draber/works/12416821-face-of-christ?ref=recent-owner 

It is also available there printed on a t-shirt.
