Prayer - Icon of the Face of Jesus


When,

O Christ our God, 

You were 

transfigured on the mountain,

you revealed your glory

to your disciples

to the extent that

they were able to receive it.

Make your eternal light shine

also on us sinners,

through the intercession

of the Mother of God.

O generous Giver of light,

glory to you.

(from the Oriental liturgy)


The icon of the Face of Christ is 

located above the tabernacle

in San Silvestro in Capite.

It was commissioned in the year

2014 and painted by the 

iconographer Ivan Polverari 

to recall the return to the church 

of the Image of Edessa for the 

first time in 145 years for a 

Solemn Triduum of prayer. The 

Image was kept in the monastery 

of San Silvestro for centuries and 

is now found in one of the 

sacristies of the Sistine Chapel.
