THIS ICON depicts the Second Coming of Jesus, which many Christians believe will usher in bodily resurrection for the faithful. Angels and saints encircle Jesus. Paradise appears at the bottom of the scene, with Abraham’s Bosom on the left and the Good Thief (more accurately, bandit) on the right. The icon comes from Greece and dates to c. 1700.
