Maronite Consecration of the Church icon Brushed Aluminum Print

"Then I, John, saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband." (Rv 21:2)

 The Consecration of the Church icon is a literal historical, biblical and Antiochene representation of the Church- the dwelling place of God with people and the eternal seat of His glory. The lowest section of the icon depicts symbols of the church, whereas the next row up represents Old Testament history of the People of God. In the center of the icon is portrayed the Crucifixion, in Syriac style. Rising above the cross is the symbol of Trinity. To the right is depicted the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. To the left is the Syro-Maronite Antiochene Church, Peter, Paul and the apostles, martyrs and confessors and the whole communion of saints, the Syriac Church Fathers, the founders and people of the Maronite Church.

One of the distinguished emblems, above the (symbol) of the Antioch Church is the emblem of the Maronite Patriarchate. On the opposite side we see the Tree of Life with twelve fruits for the healing of nations and the seven fruits for the sacraments of the church. From the Throne of God runs the River of Life; whereas the mountain, the fire and the natural phenomena depict theophany- the visible manifestation of God to man.

The colors are symbolic too- gold for eternity; red for martyrdom and kingship; blue for heaven; white for purity and green for creation. The sun with twelve stars represents the New Testament Church, Christ and the Apostles. The moon and twelve stars stand for the Old Testament Church, the patriarchs and our Lady.

The top of the icon shows the New Jerusalem, the eternal bride of Christ, to whom Christ comes in glory, to make His dwelling place forever.
