Santissimo Salvatore della Trasfigurazione (also known as Christ Pantocrator) anchors the apse of the UNESCO recognized cathedral, or duomo, of Cefalù. Boasting a remarkable Byzantine-style mosaic of Christ Pantocrator (pictured), the cathedral was commissioned in 1131 by the visionary Norman King Roger II after his ship found refuge on this spot during a harrowing storm. Historians believe that Greek craftsmen from Constantinople created the mosaics which were completed in 1148. Christ holds a book with the text from John 8:12 stating "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness." The artwork, the light, the entire experience of entering the cathedral took my breath away right before I took this photo--and it wasn't my first time having been there. It's inspirational every time. #cefalu #palermo #cefalucathedral #cefalucattedrale #christ #jesus #christpantocrator #santissimosalvatore #mosaic #mosaics #mosaico #mosaichi #experiencesicily #sicily #sicilia #siciliabedda #italy #italia #sicilyvacation #sicilians_world #ig_sicily #igerssicilia #instasicilia #gf_italy #siculamenteDoc #sicily_tricolors #ig_visitsicily #Sicilia_PhotoGroup #smallgrouptours #traveltogether #authenticsicily #smallgrouptoursitaly (at Duomo di Cefalù) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwBShFNlOFG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wwod1wa9zqdu
