Icon: The Crucifixion

The Crucifixion unfolds in this 8" x 10" wooden icon, following a Byzantine composition from the fourth century. Christ stands at the center, flanked by Mary and a holy woman on the left, John the beloved and a centurion on the right. This arrangement captures the profound moment of redemption witnessed by those closest to Jesus. Handcrafted by Conception Abbey monks through their contemplative practice, the icon invites deep prayer and meditation on Christ's sacrifice.
