This Orthodox icon, "Apostolic preaching," painted in 1650, depicts scenes from the life of Christ. The central figure of Jesus Christ stands in the heavens with outstretched arms, surrounded by smaller scenes representing his miracles and teachings. These vignettes, in a circular pattern around Jesus, tell stories from the New Testament. The icon serves as a visual guide to Christian faith and serves as a reminder of the significance of the teachings and miracles of Jesus Christ.
