Description
The Meaning of This Icon
The Icon of Christ the Resting One (ἀναπέσω) is deeply tied to Psalm 121:4: "He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep." The core meaning behind it is that even as Christ's human body rested in sleep, His divine nature as God remained ever-wakeful and sustaining all of creation.
The icon's ultimate significance is powerfully revealed on Holy Saturday. On this day, Christ lay "asleep" in the tomb in His humanity, yet in His divinity, He was actively filling all things. This profound paradox is beautifully captured in the Paschal hymn: "In the grave with the body but in Hades with the soul as God; in paradise with the thief, and on the throne with the Father and the Holy Spirit wast Thou, O Christ, filling all things, Thyself uncircumscribed."
About Our Icons (Print and Mounted):
Theophany Works Icons are handcrafted reproductions, made with prayer and a desire for excellence. Choose from our standard mounted option on Museum Quality Paper or you may choose to upgrade to Museum Quality Matte Canvas. Both offer a rich print with saturated coloration and are finished with our high-grade UV protection sealant offering a subtle tactile texture that gives our icons a truly authentic feel & can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Additionally, each Maple-shelled panel is prepared with a painted chamfered front edge as well as a round-over on the back edge to give a shadow box effect when hung on the wall. Our Icons come standard with a sliding key-hole slot on the back which allows for balanced hanging. These beautiful American-made reproductions will be a beloved addition to any home or parish at the fraction of the cost of a hand painted icon.
