"He That Followeth Me Shall Not Walk in Darkness, but Shall Have the Light of Life" is a 11th-century Byzantine mosaic located in the Hosios Loukas Monastery in Distomo, Greece. The mosaic depicts a figure, likely Jesus, holding an open book with a passage of the Bible written in Greek. The style is characteristic of Byzantine art, with stylized figures and a focus on religious iconography. Byzantine mosaic art was an important part of the Eastern Orthodox Church's artistic traditions and was used to decorate churches and other religious spaces.
