At the center: On the two sides of the head of the majestic figure of Christ the Pantocrator are the Greek letters IC and XC that abbreviate the name of Jesus Christ and always accompany him in Byzantine art. The symbolism of the hand of Christ, three fingers represent the Trinity and the other two the two-fold nature, divine and human, of Jesus Christ. In the incarnate Word, divinity and humanity are joined together.
