This icon was commissioned in late 2020 based on a prototype from the Dormition Monastery in Hamatoura, Lebanon. It is unique and most people have never seen anything like it anywhere in the world. It shows Christ "The Great High Priest" offering Himself as the sacrificial lamb based on Isaiah 53. The title comes from the prayer of the Cherubic Hymn that the priest says quietly and ends with the phrase: For Thou art He that offers and is offered, that accepts and is distributed, O Chirst our God . . ." It is a permanent part of our Cathedral iconography and hangs next to the Prothesis table in the sanctuary. 

This icon comes mounted and is available in 8x12 size for $40.00 at the Cathedral. To order and have the icon shipped to you, plesae order from Legacy Icons through the following link:

Surrounding him is a vine sprouting from the seeds of Orthodoxy he planted in North America. While the vine is growing, it is not yet in full bloom. This shows that there is still much missionary work to be done and that there are many people still thirsting for the Orthodox faith on this continent. The size is 8x10.
