IC XC

A first try at Procreate—what an incredible app! I have a lot to learn, adapt and grow, but I surely enjoyed it. This one is play off of a traditional hand gesture found throughout religious iconography.

If you're interested in the meaning, A Reader's Guide to Orthodox Icons says,
“The fingers spell out “IC XC”, a widely used four letter abbreviation of the Greek for Jesus (IHCOYC) Christ (XPICTOC). The three fingers of Christ – as well as spelling out “I” and “X” – confess the Tri-unity of God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The touching finger and thumb of Jesus not only spell out “C”, but attest to the Incarnation: to the joining of divine and human natures found in the body of Jesus Christ.”
