Christ Pantocrator
Appearance


In Christian iconography, Christ Pantocrator (in Greek: Χριστὸς Παντοκράτωρ, Christ the Almighty) is a specific depiction of Jesus. The word "Pantocrator" (Literal translation: 'ruler of all'; normally translated as 'almighty' or 'all-powerful') is derived from one of many names of God in Judaism.
The Pantocrator is largely an Eastern Orthodox, Eastern Catholic or Eastern Lutheran theological conception and is less common under that name in Latin Catholicism and Western Lutheranism. In the West, the equivalent image in art is known as Christ in Majesty, which developed a rather different iconography.
