Behold, I Stand at the Door and Knock Icon

This icon was inspired by the text of Revelation 3:20 as depicted in the familiar painting Christ at Heart's Door by Warner Sallman.
 
Although the subject is unique for an icon, it is presented in conventional iconographic imagery. Christ's stance and shape denote movement, showing that his arrival is urgent. The door is without a handle. He will not force His way inÑwe must open and let Him in. It is also quite small, as are our hearts much of the time. This icon appeals to us to accept Jesus into our lives, as well as to undergo daily conversion.
 
This icon is wood-mounted icon on Pro-Wood, with with tee-slots milled in the back for easy hanging. This icon is finished in classic cherry to replicate the traditional icon red, in keeping with Byzantine tradition. It comes with a descriptive pamphlet explaining the symbolism and history of the image.
