Description
The celebration of Epiphany since the 2nd century constitutes one of the most important celebrations of our Church. The baptism of Christ sanctified the water that became the sanctifying water symbol of reconciliation of man with God. By the grace of baptism, man is being received in the kingdom of heaven. The Baptism is one the icons that compose the Twelve Feasts. At the top a semicircle symbolizes the opening of heaven to let the Holy Spirit descend as a dove on Jesus’s Head. The Jordon river is shown to have strong current with high rocks to symbolize the Red Sea, with fish swimming and a half dressed woman riding on a dragon. Christ is depicted in the river wearing only a white cloth around his waist and at one bank of the river, Prodromos is depicted to have one hand on Christ’s head and the other in prayer while there are four angels at the other bank, the three of them worship Christ and the fourth one prays gazing at the sky.
