Description
The iconography of Christ Emmanuel is based on Isaiah 7:14: “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” The name Emmanuel is translated from Hebrew as “God is with us”. Icons of Christ Emmanuel depict Christ as a young, beardless child or young man. His high forehead expresses his infinite wisdom as pre-existent Logos. Other so-calledprefigurations of Christ are the Holy Wisdom and Christ the Blessed Silence. Traditional icons of Christ Immanuel show the young Jesus with a face older than his years, illustrating the contrast between his human age and his ageless wisdom. The subject was already popular by the twelfth century and finds classic expression in this icon from Russia
