- Христос благословляет десницей.
- Он держит евангелие, раскрытое на словах: "Придите ко мне все труждающиеся и обременённые, и я успокою вас." (Матфей 11:28)
- Christ, The Lord Almighty who blesses with His right hand and holds the Gospels open to the text “Come to me all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28)
- The position of the fingers is significant. They are in the first of two symbolic gestures.
- The first has thumb, ring finger and little finger bent together and touching, while the forefinger and slightly-bent middle finger are held upright. The three joined fingers symbolize the divine and human natures of Christ.
- The slight bend in the middle finger symbolizes the descent of Christ to earth to become incarnate as man.
This is the sign of blessing common in icons of the Old Believers. In the second position, the fingers form the abbreviated name “Jesus Christ” (IC).
- The index finger is straight and the middle finger is bent slightly, forming the letters IC; the ring finger is bent down and the thumb passes across it to form the X, and the little finger is bent to form the C.
