Pantocrator

Pantocrator is an iconic Christian depiction of Jesus Christ as the Almighty ruler and sovereign of the universe. The term, derived from Greek meaning "All-Ruler" or "Almighty," is commonly found in Byzantine and Orthodox Christian art, typically portraying Jesus with a serious, compassionate expression, holding a Bible and making a blessing gesture. This image emphasizes Christ's divine authority, sovereignty, and role as judge and savior. The Pantocrator serves as a visual reminder of God's omnipotence and the central Christian belief in Christ's divine nature and authority over creation.
