The collection of the Urazovo Local History Museum contains the Icon of the Christ Almighty, dating from the late 19th century.
Christianity is one of the world’s religions, which is based on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. His face was often recreated in sacred images. This contributed to the rooting of the image of one God in art, and in particular in religious art.
A similar example is the icon “God Almighty”, which is found in almost every church and home altar. Jesus is sinless by nature, which is why he shouldered all the burden of worldly sins. Jesus was condemned and sentenced to crucifixion, thus, He atoned for all the sins of mankind. He is the representative of the Holy Trinity, namely the Son, who descended to Earth, and by the action of the Holy Spirit was born from a woman, thereby taking the form of a man.
As history testifies, the very first icons of the God Almighty were painted around the fourth century, being at the same time one of the most recognizable icon-painting styles of the image of the Almighty. The oldest icon that has survived to this day is in the Sinai Monastery. Nowadays, every parishioner can see this icon.
There are different versions of the image and many icon painters pondered over them, for example, the famous icon painter Theophanes the Greek wrote his own version of the icon “Christ Almighty”, the lists of which are in many churches. Jesus is always depicted on it in the form of reigning and majestic.
From other sacred Christian images, this icon differs in the characteristic position of the hands, where in his right hand he holds a scroll embodying the Gospel, and his left hand is folded in a blessing gesture. There may also be an image of the God Almighty with the Gospel. There is also a fairly common type of icon, where Jesus was depicted up to the waist or shoulder.
