Religious appliqué 2521 brings to granite the most majestic type of icon: Christ Pantocrator with his right hand raised in blessing and an open book on whose pages the letters Α and Ω appear. A cross-inscribed nimbus within a full circle crowns the calm, frontal image of the Lord of the beginning and the end.
Two fingers joined in the gesture of blessing, a himation draped over the shoulder, symmetrical strands of hair, the pages of the book with a clearly defined spine – design 2521 respects the canon of the icon down to the detail. Stainless steel replaces the gold of the background with its own living light.
The Pantocrator speaks to lovers of icons, to families with Eastern roots and to everyone who feels close to the hieratic gravity of the first centuries. The appliqué is available in four steel finishes: polished, satin, black, gold.
The letters on the pages of the book are a quotation from the Book of Revelation: "I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End." On a gravestone they take on particular meaning: the life of the deceased, from the first day to the last, is written between these two letters like a sentence in a book that has an Author. Our symbol 2401 expresses the same truth through the sign alone; Pantocrator 2521 shows the One who speaks it.
The Pantocrator does not take part in a scene – he receives: he sits facing forward, looks straight ahead and blesses everyone who stands before him. This hieratic stillness, foreign to Western painting, gives those visiting the grave an almost liturgical experience: at the slab one does not look at a picture, but stands before the Face. Many customers say it is the most "church-like" image in our range.
Icons painted on wood need protection from moisture and sunlight – the stainless steel version is free of these limitations: it does not flake, fade or require restoration. The entire image, with the halo and the book, is cut from a single sheet; the mounting on a plaque or on the wall of a tomb remains invisible and secure for decades.
The iconic majesty of this image raises questions about its symbolism – we answer the most important ones.
It is a gesture of blessing: the position of the fingers is traditionally read as the letters of the name of Jesus Christ. The Pantocrator thus blesses everyone who stands before the gravestone – with the name he himself bears.
Model 2401 consists of the Greek letters alone, in the form of a sign; 2521 shows Christ holding them in an open book. The symbol speaks in shorthand, the icon in a full sentence – the choice depends on how much space and what prominence the sign is meant to have on the slab.
Perfectly – it is the central image of the iconostases of the Orthodox and Greek Catholic churches. Design 2521 preserves the canonical details, so it honors the tradition of families of both Eastern rites as well as the Latin rite.
Gold – the halo and the book then take on the glow of an iconostasis. Polished gives a cooler, more modern light, satin a contemplative half-tone, and black a strong outline on light granite.
