Jehovah Sabaoth is one of God’s names in the Bible. The name literally translates as “The Lord of Hosts” or “The Lord of Armies.” The image of God the Father is quite controversial but still widespread in Eastern Christianity. God is shown as an old man with a long gray beard and hair. As you see in the icon, He blesses with His right hand using two fingers, which is a characteristic of Old Believer icons. The icon itself was painted by an anonymous painter in Russia in the second part of the 19th century.
