Handmade Byzantine Icon of Christ the Blessing, the "Philanthropist" who is depicted blessing with his right hand. In the open Gospel that he holds with his left hand, we read the verse from the Gospel of John: "I am the light of the world, he who follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life".
Jesus Christ showed his charity with miracles and help to sick and suffering people. The Christian faith continues its work as it was recorded by the holy Apostles.
