The Revelation of Saint John was written during his exile on Patmos and is based on the vision he received on a Sunday, overwhelmed by the Holy Spirit. He heard a voice like a trumpet urging him to record all that he would see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea. The icon depicts Jesus Christ with white hair and beard, dressed in a tunic and a golden belt. In His right hand, He holds seven stars, symbolizing the angels of the churches, while on His left side a sharp sword is depicted. He stands between lampshades (1:12-13), which represent the churches (1:20). He is also surrounded by seven angels, each of whom is associated with one church as a Bishop. Finally, at the bottom of the icon, people who are immersed in smoke and fire, symbolize the corruption of the world and sin.
