About Monastery Icons Jesus Christ The Teacher Mounted

Holding a Gospel declaring: "I am the Light of the world" Christ blesses the beholder. In these icons of Christ His halo includes the letters “I AM,” symbolizing His divinity and referring to His words, “Before Abraham was, I AM.” The Greek letters “IC” and “XC” in the upper corners of the icon are abbreviations of the Greek words for “Jesus” and “Christ”. Popular alike to Eastern Orthodox and Catholic worshippers, and other traditional Christians, this depiction of Jesus is our most popular icon. Since 1981 the works of iconographer Brother Simeon Davis have inspired a renaissance in sacred Christian art in America. His unique combination of classic style, radiant and fresh colors, and English text has touched the hearts of Christians looking for traditional style iconographic artwork of their most beloved sacred themes. His work now adorns churches, homes, and schools throughout the world, where the faithful have found them “a joy to behold and an invaluable aid in encouraging holiness,” as Father David L. of Washington writes. Since we began offering reproductions of the Monastery Icons collection in 1981 it has been a challenge to reproduce the gold leaf backgrounds of our original icons. But a new photo technology called Lumina Gold has solved this problem. Not only does Lumina gold restore matching simulated gold leaf backgrounds to all our icon plaques and prints, but has the added benefit of producing deeper, richer colors and sharper detail – a stunning transformation that brings all our icon panels closer to the vivid beauty of our original paintings.
