Lazarus Miracle 1300

The "Lazarus Miracle" icon, housed in Saint Catherine's Monastery in Egypt, depicts the biblical story of Jesus resurrecting Lazarus from the dead. Created by Orthodox iconographers around 1300, this artwork follows the traditional Byzantine style, characterized by flattened figures, gold backgrounds, and a focus on symbolic representation. Jesus, centrally positioned, commands Lazarus to rise, his outstretched hand emphasizing the power of his divine intervention. The icon's vivid colors and stylized forms convey a sense of awe and reverence, emphasizing the miracle's importance in Christian tradition.
