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 Crucifixion Icon
The Crucifixion icon presents Christ upon the Cross — not in despair, but in victory.
His body is shown with dignity and stillness, emphasizing voluntary sacrifice. The darkened sky and cracked rock below reveal cosmic upheaval.
At His side stand the Theotokos and Saint John — witnesses of sorrow and faith.
This icon proclaims that through suffering came redemption, and through death came life.
Materials & craftsmanship
Handcrafted in Greece on a solid wood panel, reproduced with museum-quality Byzantine seriography and finished with genuine 18kt gold leaf.
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.
