This is a traditional Eastern Orthodox icon depicting Christ walking on the water, based on the Gospel account from Matthew 14:22–33. In this scene, Jesus approaches His disciples across the Sea of Galilee, demonstrating His divine authority over nature. Peter briefly joins Him, walking on the water before sinking and being rescued by Christ — a powerful symbol of faith and human frailty. The icon follows the canonical style of Byzantine iconography, emphasising theological meaning through symbolic composition, colour, and gesture. This particular version reflects the timeless tradition of Orthodox sacred art and is commonly used in devotional settings.
