Mosaic of Christ Healing the Woman

27
This mosaic depicts Christ Pantocrator healing the woman with the issue of blood, illustrating her faith as she touches his garment. Made from colored glass and stone, the gold backdrop symbolizes Christ’s divinity and kingship. The asymmetry in Christ’s face may reflect his dual nature as divine and human, a key theme in Byzantine art and theology.
