Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, holds the Gospel in His left hand and makes the sign of blessing with His right hand. His blue outer garment symbolizes His divine nature and His red inner garment, his humanity. The inscription ICXC is the abbreviation of Jesus Christ as it was written in Greek. The letters inscribed in His halo stand for “the One Who Is”. Or the Name of the Lord spoken to Moses “I AM that I AM”.
