Christ in the Tomb – 6 x 8 Embroidered Orthodox Icon

This 6 x 8 inch embroidered icon depicts Christ in the Tomb in the traditional Orthodox manner. The crossed hands, crownless halo inscribed with Ὁ ὬΝ, and the presence of the spear and reed present the solemn image used liturgically in Holy Week and in devotional icon corners throughout the year.

The embroidery is densely stitched, allowing for clear facial detail, defined wounds, and consistent gold background texture. The icon is mounted and framed, ready for display in a prayer corner, home chapel, or parish setting.
