The Icon of Extreme Humility
As pictured above, this icon is usually associated with the Lenten period, which I suppose makes it a little untimely. I'll change it periodically and will perhaps get better coordinated with the ecclesiastical calender. Obviously the icon's emphasis is on humility and specifically the humility of Christ as He allowed Himself to suffer and die upon the cross. We see Him partially entombed, but look deeper for it is not only a tomb. He is also boxed in, which is the Extreme Humility of God condescending to become flesh and blood within time and space. Indeed, Theology in color!

Christos Anesti!
