FOLLOW ICONOGRAPHY TRADITIONS Traditionally, Christ is depicted as lying supine after his body has been removed from the Cross. The scene is from the Gospel of St. John and He is seen to be surrounded by important personalities such as His Mother, his disciple John, Joseph of Arimathea and angels among others. Sometimes, the four Evangelists are shown in the corner. In some icons, Christ is depicted alone, lying in state, surrounded by angels. Istok Church Supplies has experienced iconographers who understand Epitaphios traditions and follow them religiously while creating these liturgical shrouds.
