Calming of the Sea (Athos) Icon 5x5

This miracle of Christ is found in the three synoptic gospels. While He slept on the boat, a storm arose and threatened to capsize the boat. The disciples woke Him in fear, and the Lord rebuked the wind. The storm died down, and He questioned the disciples' doubt. They were in awe of His divine power, but it was only a small foreshadowing of what was to come.

The figure walking on the shore is a personification of the wind, which Christ rebukes with His uplifted hand.
