Pantocrator (Sinai) This icon, handcrafted at the St. Isaac of Syria Skete in Boscobel, Wisconsin, is a great gift idea for those who appreciate the beauty and history of icons. The title, "Christ Pantocrator" means "Christ, Ruler of All." It was one of the first images of Christ developed in the Early Christian Church. In the image, Christ holds the New Testament in his left hand, and blesses with his right. In the 6th century when many icons were destroyed during persecution, this image was preserved in the Sinai desert, at St. Catherine's Monastery. This historical image is a great gift idea for any Catholic occasion!
