☩ This powerful icon, titled "The Crucifixion of the Son of God," presents the final, redemptive moment of Christ’s earthly mission. At the heart of the composition, Jesus is depicted on the Cross, crowned with thorns and radiant with divine light. Angels, robed in bright vestments, gather His sacred blood into golden chalices—symbols of the New Covenant and eternal mercy.
☩ At the foot of the Cross, the Virgin Mary stands in sorrowful devotion, joined by Saint John and angelic witnesses. Each figure reflects the profound grief and sacred hope that marks the Passion of Christ.
☩ Above the Cross is the ancient Ge'ez inscription "ኢናንአ", meaning “He is with us.” It proclaims the abiding presence of Christ even in suffering and death—a declaration of divine nearness and enduring love.
☩ Rooted in Ethiopian Orthodox theology and iconography, this work invites deep contemplation of sacrifice, redemption, and the mystery of Emmanuel—God with us.
