Icon "The body of Jesus is taken down from the Cross" (Model 559) STL

The iconographic subject "The Deposition from the Cross" dates back to ancient Byzantine traditions and reveals one of the pivotal moments of Christ's Passion. The relief captures the scene described in the Gospels: Joseph of Arimathea, a secret disciple of Christ, along with Nicodemus, taking down the lifeless body of the Savior from the Cross. Nearby, the Most Holy Theotokos, the Apostle John the Theologian, and the Myrrh-bearing women are depicted sharing the indescribable grief of loss. In the Orthodox tradition, this image encourages deep prayerful concentration on the redemptive sacrifice, humility, and the endurance of earthly sorrows. Believers pray before this icon for spiritual peace, strengthening of faith during trials, and the commemoration of the departed.
