Talk:Christ Pantocrator

message: Zeus at Olympia: "In his right hand a figure of Victory made from ivory and gold. In his left hand, his scepter inlaid with all metals, and an eagle perched on the sceptre. The sandals of the god are made of gold, as is his robe." —Pausanias. What's the connection with Christ Pantocrator, holding the book and blessing? Just a bearded male? Can we eliminate this fancy from the text? Or are more specific connections made? --Wetman 04:06, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Could we try and see how the icon of Christ Pantocrator might look in the Christianity portal image? The one you have is nice, but this one is more recognizable, and Christ looks cooler.
I know this sounds childish, but I think it would be more befitting. You may want to give it a shot, just to see how it looks.
Thanks. Peace.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.201.163.5 (talk) 13:16, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hey, Wikipedia 

message: I hope everyone will find this useful. I know it makes it much easier for me to see what the artist was doing, especially with the removal of deterioration damage to the right eye. Since the expression was almost totally forward-facing, it was not a difficult project. However, there is neck distortion which is typical for these. I did not change the neck or the lower part of the picture in order to minimize the changes from the original piece. However, I can see some value in making a composite that retains the original's lower part of the painting (the single hand, the proper neck, and the single book). If there is interest I will make one.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by JustinGBX (talk • contribs) 17:21, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

message: I know that there is a lot of meaning conveyed by this icon, for example that Christ's right hand is raised in a blessing, and he is spelling out an acronym of his name, and that his left hand is holding the gospels. But I don't have a reliable source to include this sort of information in Wikipedia. But, most importantly, how does this icon convey "Pantocrator" - that aspect of Christ? That sort of information seems essential to this article.    TomS TDotO (talk) 16:05, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
