Dear ,

In a prevelent modern Coptic tradition of iconography, St. John the Baptist is not depicted higher than (above) our Lord Jesus Christ during the baptism.

Writing an icon (we don't say "painting" or "drawing" an icon -- we say "writing") is based Biblically and an expression of verse and Theology. While Christ humbled Himself and allowed Himself to be subject to John's hand in baptism, it is also an illustration of St. John the Baptist's statement, "He must increase, but I must decrease.' (John 3:30). That's why John, particularly in latter depictions, is shown below our Lord Jesus Christ, as seen in the icon above.

This is a great reminder and lesson in humility for us regardless of the setting: work, home, church or social.

P.S. This icon was written by the renowned, late Isaac Fanous.

Until next time...

Remember to K.I.C. (Keep It Coptic).
