Holy Trinity Iconography Update: Must See Video! Live Capture of Writing of the Pantokrator Icon

April 2 & 3, 2013: Amazing video!: watch the large Pantokrator icon of Christ and the Holy Angels at the top of the dome of the new Holy Trinity Church in Pittsburgh being "written" before your very eyes as Dr. George Kordis and his iconography team start their holy work at Holy Trinity (Length: 19:54)

This is spectacular. My neck hurts just from locking at him work.

The guy with the charcoal stick is good, very good. Its hard enough to get that crispness and vitality when you are working with charcoal and paper on a table, never mind on the end of a stick several feet above your head. Especially the way he does the hands and fingers, AWESOME control. I'm guessing he has done many similar paintings before and knows the shapes and forms intimately.

I’m told he’s the number one Iconographer in Greece, maybe the world

[@gauguin007]

Great to see a master at work. He doesn't seem to be working from any preliminary sketches on paper.

Thank you for the insight of such a sacred and sacrosanct process. Few through out history have had the opportunity of to view the creation through artistry of icons to behold the beginning of "Christ the Pantocreator " . I am much humbled and I thank you.

Fantastic document!, thanks for shearing us it. It is not easy drawing with the arms up, is really very tired.

Sono rimasta affascinata dal modo deciso con cui ha realizzato questa icona . Complimenti...anche perché dover stare con la testa in quella posizione non è per niente facile

[@queencleo1151]

I remember as a kid watching an iconographer do this in our church many years ago. He did it on his own.. lying down on his back. It was so incredibly perfect.. I asked him how he did it. He smiled and replied “I don’t know how.. God drew it.. I just held the pencil”

[@anastasiyabychkova5104]

It’s amazing! So professional! So perfect!

[@steelfalconx2000]

I should've known that the Orthodox Church has an ancient amazing way to create Icons. Amazing!

When will the new church be consecrated?

[@rafaeljc2011]

como chama aquele simbolo do video 16:33 do lado direito?????

[@gauguin007]

I thought I heard him say that incense is mixed into the egg yolks. Is that right?

[@alsaulso1332]

wow!!!!

[@tomato1040]

The Divine Trinity that the Church worships is really a personification of consciousness as 3 parts that are manifested in our human lives, from mortality, breath & transfiguration to immortality that is expressed in The Father (Energy), the Mother (Matter) & the Child (Son/Daughter) the offspring. Low, Middle, High; Left, Center, Right, Black, White, & Gray, Hot, cool/warm, Cold are reflective in IT.

Eat your heart out, Matisse.
