That icon portrays Christ just after He was flogged, struck on the face and ridiculed by the soldiers who dressed Him in a purple robe and crowned Him with thorns. The Greek words on the right read “Behold the man,” the very same words Pilate used when He presented Him to the people. The character of this man and which the icon loudly proclaims is that of endurance amidst sufferings. So if anything, hope is what this icon teaches as the Apostle says: “…suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope” (Romans 5:3-4).lacks hope
