Christ and Virgin Mary Diptych Icon beads_garden the Nuhra Cross is presenceHandcrafted in the Holy Land, this Byzantine style triptych unites two sacred images, Christ the Pantocrator and the Virgin Mary with the Child. On one side, Christ holds the Gospel and raises His hand in blessing, a sign of wisdom and peace. On the other, Mary holds the infant Jesus close, their faces touching in a expression of love and grace. The golden background shines softly behind them, symbolizing divine light and the eternal presence of God.
