Crucifixion of the Lord

Crucifixion of the Lord The Crucifixion of the Lord is a central event in Orthodox Christian theology and iconography. The image of the Crucifixion is commonly represented in Orthodox icons, depicting Jesus Christ nailed to the cross with Mary, the mother of Jesus, and the beloved disciple John standing at the foot of the cross. In Orthodox Christianity, the Crucifixion is understood as the ultimate act of sacrificial love by which Jesus Christ, the Son of God, willingly offered Himself to redeem humanity from sin and death. The Crucifixion is seen as a demonstration of God"s infinite love and mercy for all mankind. Orthodox Christians venerate icons of the Crucifixion as a way of meditating on the profound mystery of Christ"s sacrifice and as a means of drawing closer to God through prayer and contemplation. Icons of the Crucifixion are often found in Orthodox churches, homes, and places of worship, serving as a visual reminder of the central tenet of the Christian faith – the redemptive work of Christ on the cross. Through the veneration of icons of the Crucifixion, Orthodox Christians seek to deepen their understanding of Christ"s suffering and death, and to be inspired to live lives of faith, love, and devotion to God. The Crucifixion is a powerful symbol of hope and salvation for Orthodox believers, reminding them of the victory of Christ over sin and death, and the promise of eternal life in Him.
