{"product_id":"lord-jesus-christ-blessing-white-mug","title":"Lord Jesus Christ Blessing Orthodox Christian Coffee Mug","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe image of our Lord Jesus Christ giving His blessing, His right hand raised with the fingers arranged in the traditional Byzantine blessing gesture that spells the Greek letters IC XC, the abbreviation of Jesus Christ, is one of the most universal and deeply beloved images in all of Orthodox iconography. The blessing hand of Christ is at once an image of His divine authority, His priestly intercession and His infinite pastoral love for every soul that comes before Him seeking His grace. In the Orthodox tradition the blessing of Christ conveyed through His icon, through the hand of the bishop and priest who act in His person, and through the holy Cross itself, is not a mere formality or a social custom but a genuine communication of divine grace, a real transmission of the energy of God to the soul that receives it with faith and reverence. The blessing of Christ encompasses all things, the forgiveness of sins, the healing of the sick, the strengthening of the weak, the consolation of the sorrowful and the illumination of those who sit in darkness. This final design in our collection, the Lord Jesus Christ Blessing, brings our entire range to its most appropriate conclusion, with the blessing of the Lord Himself extended over all who have journeyed through these one hundred and fifty-five designs and who carry these mugs as daily reminders of the Orthodox faith that has shaped and sustained the lives of hundreds of millions of Christians across two thousand years of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.\" (Numbers 6:24-26)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eO Lord Jesus Christ, who art ever present to bless and to save all who call upon Thee with faith, extend thy holy blessing over all who venerate this image of Thee and over all who carry this mug as a daily reminder of thy love, and grant them and all their loved ones the fullness of thy grace and mercy now and in the age to come.
