Christ the Man of Sorrows Extreme Humility 11x14 Framed Embroidered Orthodox Icon

This embroidered icon depicts Christ the Man of Sorrows, also known in the Orthodox tradition as Extreme Humility. Shown after the Crucifixion, Christ stands in the tomb with His arms crossed, bearing the wounds of the Passion. Angels attend Him, and the Cross stands behind Him as a witness to His voluntary suffering for the salvation of the world.
The image emphasizes not triumph, but kenosis—Christ’s self-emptying love, humility, and obedience unto death. It is an icon often associated with Holy Week, repentance, and deep contemplation of the Passion, yet it remains timeless in its call to humility, mercy, and love.
This icon is professionally machine-embroidered, not printed, using high-quality polyester thread on premium felt. Dense stitching creates a rich textile surface with depth, texture, and subtle variation that reflects the handcrafted nature of the work. Each piece is embroidered and assembled in our Ohio workshop with care and reverence for Orthodox iconographic tradition.
The finished embroidery is mounted and framed in a solid wood frame without a mat, allowing the icon itself to remain the visual and spiritual focus. The larger 11x14 format makes this piece especially suitable for a home prayer corner, chapel, monastery, or parish setting.
