Theophany Baptism of Christ Framed Canvas Icon

The Theophany icon depicts one of the great moments of revelation within the life of the Church, Christ standing within the waters of the Jordan as Saint John the Baptist prepares to baptise Him, while the heavens above are seen to open. The very word Theophany signifies the manifestation of God, and the icon presents this manifestation with theological precision, the Holy Spirit descending in the form of a dove even as the voice of the Father is heard bearing witness to the Son, the first full revelation of the Holy Trinity granted to the world. Small river spirits are often shown fleeing beneath the feet of Christ, an ancient device by which iconographers signified that creation itself, represented by the waters, was being sanctified through the entry of its own Creator into its midst. Kept among the Twelve Great Feasts and closely tied within Orthodox practice to the blessing of water, this icon makes a fitting gift to mark a baptism, or simply to honour a household that keeps the feasts of the Church through the turning of the year.

“And lo, a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Matthew 3:17)

O Christ our God, who didst sanctify the waters of the Jordan by entering into them, sanctify also the waters of our own baptism, that we who have put Thee on may walk always as children of light. Amen.

This framed canvas makes a beautiful and cherished gift for baptisms, name days, Christmas, Easter, or any occasion where the Orthodox faith is celebrated.
