Deesis Icon Jesus Christ with the Mother of God and St. John the Baptist 23x30cm For Sale

Deesis Icon – Jesus Christ with the Mother of God and St. John the Baptist | 23x30 cm (9”x12”)
🕊️ Traditional Orthodox Icon of Supplication and Intercession

This beautifully handcrafted wooden icon features the sacred Deesis (Greek: “Supplication”) composition — a revered theme in Orthodox iconography that places Jesus Christ at the center, with the Mother of God (Theotokos) to His left and St. John the Baptist (Forerunner) to His right. Both saints are shown in prayerful intercession on behalf of humanity.

The Deesis icon embodies the plea for mercy and salvation, depicting the heavenly court where the Mother of God and St. John the Baptist appeal to Christ for the souls of the faithful.

This sacred image encourages personal prayer and reflection, reminding us of God’s mercy and the power of the saints’ intercession.

Surrounding the central figures are six beloved saints, enhancing the spiritual richness of this icon:

• Archangel Michael – protector and leader of heavenly hosts

• St. Nicholas the Wonderworker – patron of compassion and miracles

• Apostle John the Theologian – the beloved disciple and evangelist

• St. Sergius of Radonezh – Russian monastic and spiritual guide

• Apostle Peter – the rock of the Church

• Apostle Paul – the great missionary of the early Church

These figures invite the viewer into deeper spiritual connection with the holy community of saints.
