The only icon of its kind "Christ Almighty"

Icon of Saints Series by the Spanish manufacturer Credan SA.

In 1975, the small workshop Creaciones Dangel was transformed into the company CREDAN, without forgetting the craftsmanship created by a carefully selected team of people. Since then, Credan products have been known and admired worldwide.

The quality of the raw materials used (including 24-karat gold), refined design, and incredible elegance have made the company's clients the most influential people from around the world.

The production process is time-consuming and meticulous to ensure an incredible appearance and craftsmanship quality, with raw materials meeting the highest standards—from gold, silver, and copper to carefully selected wood.

We are pleased to present to you the exceptionally beautiful iconography of saints by Credan SA.

As Pantokrator Christ, He is depicted standing or seated on a throne, with an open Holy Bible in His left hand and His right hand raised in a gesture of blessing. The finger positioning references the Greek monogram of Christ: IC XC. Two fingers are joined: the thumb and the ring finger. This arrangement makes the index and middle fingers resemble the letters IC. The crossed thumb and ring finger, combined with the little finger, form XC. This is not the only interpretation of the gesture; according to some theologians, the connected thumb and ring finger symbolize the duality of Christ’s nature: divine and human. Meanwhile, the connection of the three fingers—the little finger, ring finger, and thumb—symbolizes the Holy Trinity.

The book that Jesus holds in His left hand refers to His mission of teaching. It usually contains a quote from the Gospel of John: "Do not judge by appearances, but judge with righteous judgment".

In the Orthodox tradition, depicting Christ as Pantokrator is most often placed on the ceiling of the central dome of a church. This tradition, dating back to the 11th century, has symbolic significance. During the Macedonian Dynasty (867-1056), when iconoclasm ended, Byzantine church art was revived. Even then, Christian temples began to be built with the concept of creating a "cosmic image." Placing the Pantokrator icon on the central ceiling was meant to show Christ, who looks down upon His world from above.
