Icon of our Lord Jesus Christ at St. Catherine's Monastery (Sinai)

Our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ is the incarnate Second Person of the Holy Trinity, fully God and fully man, born in time of the Virgin Mary and begotten from before all time of God the Father.

His English name Jesus is from the Greek Ιησους which is from the Hebrew Yeshua, which means "Yahweh saves." His title Christ is from the Greek Χριστος, which is a translation of the Hebrew Mashiach ("Messiah"), which means "anointed one."
