Christ Saving Peter from the Sea - Iconographic Depiction of Faith and Rescue #3033567 (License: Personal Use)

This traditional Orthodox icon illustrates the Gospel account (Matthew 14:22-33) where Peter walks on water toward Jesus but begins to sink when his faith wavers; Christ immediately reaches out to save him. The composition uses symbolic color-deep blues for chaos and divine truth, gold for holiness-and stylized waves to convey spiritual turbulence. Greek inscription “ΚΥΡΙΕ ΣΩΣΟΝ ΜΕ” (“Lord, save me!”) appears above, echoing Peter’s cry.

Used in church services, theological education, devotional materials, and online Christian resources to illustrate themes of salvation, trust, and divine intervention. Matches user intent for religious art study, sermon visuals, or spiritual reflection.
