The gold leaf background symbolizes the uncreated light of God’s Kingdom, drawing the viewer beyond earthly time and into the eternal victory of Christ over death.

The Meaning of the Christ Walking on Water Icon

This icon depicts Christ walking upon the sea, revealing His authority over chaos and fear. The storm represents the turbulence of human life, while the boat symbolizes the Church navigating the world.

Peter steps out toward Christ, but begins to sink when his faith wavers. The icon reminds us that doubt and fear overcome us only when we look away from Him.

Christ’s outstretched hand shows both power and mercy. He does not abandon Peter — He lifts him.

This image proclaims that faith anchors us amid the storms of life and that Christ remains sovereign over all creation.

Shipping & returns

Ships from Boynton Beach, Florida. If anything is not right, you have 30 days from delivery to request a return (unused, in its original packaging), and we send you the return label.

Caring for your icon

Keep your icon out of direct sunlight and away from damp walls and heat. Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth, and never use water or cleaning products on the gold leaf. If you keep a vigil lamp or candles nearby, leave space so soot does not settle on the icon.

Having your icon blessed

Many Orthodox Christians bring a new icon to their parish priest to be blessed before placing it in the home. Just bring it with you to church and ask Father after the service.
