In Russian iconographic tradition the Lord Almighty (Pantocrator) can be depicted in full length, sitting on a throne, or only to the waist or the chest.
The left hand is holds the Gospel of Christ or scroll, and the right extends in blessing. The Gospel can be either open, or closed. Its deployed pages convey various sayings of the Savior.
The age of Jesus Christ on the Icon “Lord Almighty ” corresponds to the period of his preaching. His straight hair down to his shoulders, and on the Face there is a short beard and small mustache. Around the head of Jesus there is the cross nimbus, characteristic for His image only.
As time goes by, on the Gospel and inside the nimbus they began to place only two Greek letters “alpha” and “omega” – the first and the last letters of the Greek alphabet, which are associated with the sense of the following lines of the “Apocalypse”: “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith Lord, who is and who was and is to come, the Almighty “ (Rev. 1:8).
According to the canon the Savior is portrayed in clothes that he wore during the earthly life. The green (sometimes blue) color of the cape symbolizes spirituality (heaven), the red shirt means the human nature of Christ, martyrdom (the color of blood ) and regal (purple is considered a king’s color). Thus, the Savior’s garment symbolize the connection of spiritual, heavenly and earthly.
