It is difficult to overestimate the significance of the icon of the Savior Not Made by Hands - his miraculous appearance became a very weighty argument during the iconoclasm. In fact, this is the main proof that the face of Christ can be portrayed and enjoyed by the worship of believers as an opportunity to praise the Primordial Image.
The image of only the face of the Savior should remind believers that their salvation is possible only in the case of establishing a personal relationship with Christ as the God-man. Without this, no church rites can serve as a "pass" to the kingdom of heaven. The view of Christ is directed directly at the viewer - urging each individual person to follow Himself. Contemplation of the Icon of the Savior Not Made by Hands helps to understand the meaning of the Christian life.
