A painted Icon of Jesus Christ the Good Shepherd. 

The inscription on this icon can be made in any language.

The image of a Good Shepherd is one of the first symbolic depictions of Jesus Christ. The Holy Savior says of himself, "I am the Good Shepherd; a good shepherd sacrifices his life for his sheep." This icon has several layers of symbolism because it reminds both of the pastoral role of Christ and of Jesus as the Lamb of God that takes upon himself the sins of the world.
