CHRIST PANTOCTATORMYR150 // SGD50
15cm x 23.5cm // 6 inch x 9.25 inch (SOLD OUT) "Pantokrator" is the Greek translation of the Hebrew title El Shaddai, meaning "all powerful” or "Ruler of all". This icon is also called Christ the Teacher as Jesus is holding a book. The hand gesture is exaggerated because Jesus is making the symbol of four letters with the right hand: I, C, and X. These letters spell out Christ's monogram. Specifically, "Jesus Christ" spelled in Greek which is: IHCOYC XPICTOC. The monogram is formed by taking the first and last letters of each name, which is also a symbol of Jesus being Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last.

MOTHER OF PERPETUAL SUCCOURMYR150 // SGD50
15cm x 23.5cm // 6 inch x 9.25 inch (SOLD OUT) This icon depicts our Blessed Mother Mary, under the title “Mother of God,” holding the Child Jesus. In a very beautiful way, the Child Jesus holds onto the Blessed Mother. He seeks comfort from His mother, as He sees the instruments of His passion. The position of Mary’s hands– both holding the Child Jesus (who seems like a small adult) and presenting Him to us– convey the reality of our Lord’s incarnation, that He is true God who became also true man. In iconography, Mary here is represented as the Hodighitria, the one who guides us to the Redeemer. She also is our Help, who intercedes on our behalf with her Son. The star painted on Mary’s veil, centered on her forehead, highlights her role in the plan of salvation as both the Mother of God and our Mother.

THE TRINITYMYR150 // SGD50
15cm x 23.5cm // 6 inch x 9.25 inch (SOLD OUT) This icon depicts the story where Abraham receives three visitors as he camps by the oak of Mamre. Reading the picture from left to right, we see the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We know this from the different clothing of each person of the Trinity. On the left, the Father seems to wear all the colours in a kind of fabric that changes with the light, that seems transparent, that cannot be described or confined in words. In the middle, the Son has the deepest colours; a thick heavy garment of the reddish-brown of earth and a cloak of the blue of heaven. In His person He unites heaven and earth, the two natures are present in Him, and over his right shoulder (the Government shall be upon his shoulder) there is a band of gold shot through the earthly garment, as his divinity suffuses and transfigures his earthly being. On the right, the Holy Spirit has a garment of the clear blue of the sky, wrapped over with a robe of a fragile green. So the Spirit of creation moves in sky and water, breathes in heaven and earth. All living things owe their freshness to his touch. The table represents the altar where the sacrifice of Christ takes place.

THE HOLY FAMILYMYR150 // SGD50
15cm x 23.5cm // 6 inch x 9.25 inch (SOLD OUT) This icon is called “The Holy Family” and shows the Holy Family of Nazareth. Mary and Joseph surround the young Christ Child in love. The Virgin holds the Child, and the Child playfully extends his hands to his mother. This icon shows us a meaningful picture of the tender and devoted relationship between Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, as well as their love and sacrifice for others. In this icon, the Christ Child is at the centre, with Mary and Joseph at his side. Jesus outstretches his arms to his mother with love and tenderness, and Joseph offers a guiding hand of fatherly support. “The Holy Family” icon is an example and reminder of the importance of family in both human and divine existence.

THE DIVINE MERCYMYR150 // SGD50
15cm x 23.5cm // 6 inch x 9.25 inch (SOLD OUT) The Message of the Divine Mercy that Sr. Faustina received from the Lord was not only directed toward her personal growth in faith but also toward the good of the people. The good news revealed through Jesus Christ is that God’s love for each person knows no bounds, and no sin or infidelity, no matter how horrible, will separate us from God and His love when we turn to Him in confidence, and seek his mercy. God’s will is our salvation. In the Catholic tradition of theology, mercy means more than just the cancellation of punishment. Divine Mercy is God's love reaching down to meet the needs and overcome the miseries of His creatures.
