Christ Emmanuel Flowering Cross

Fr. McNichol's image of Christ Emmauel Flowering Cross


O Wisdom
O Adonai
O Flower of Jesse
O Key of David
O King of All Nations
O Emmanuel...
We kneel before you
and sing your praises!
You Our Lord God
who became like us
to save us.




The Flowering Cross has been a part of Christian iconography at least since the sixth century. In this cross, Christ Emmanuel is the center.
