Christ The Teacher / All Powerful T-Shirt

Christ The Teacher / All Powerful Easter ... Vintage Orthodox Image I asked for a translation of the words on the pages of the book (Bible Gospels) and here is the answer: Hi, Mark — It is Church Slavic. Some people call it Church Slavonic. It is the liturgical language of the Russian Orthodox Church, though used in other places like Bulgaria as well. The image you sent appears to be Russian. The text is from John 11:25: Аз есмь воскреcение и живот: веруяй в Мя, аще и умрет, оживет: Az esm’ voskresenie i zhivot: veruyay v mya, ashche i umret, ozhivet: "I am the resurrection and the life; who believes in me, though dead, will live." Or as the KJV has it: "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live." The letters on the sides -- IHC XPC -- abbreviate Iesus Khristos — “Jesus Christ,” just as you thought. It is written in the State Church form used by the “official” Russian Orthodox Church and not that of the Old Believers. I hope that helps. David ................................. Psalm 23 21st Century King James Version (KJ21) 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
