The most common translation of Pantocrator is “Almighty” or “All-powerful”. Another, more literal translation is “Ruler of All” or, less literally, “Sustainer of the World”.
The Pantokrator is largely an Eastern Orthodox or Eastern Catholic theological conception and is less common under that name in Latin Catholicism. In the West, the equivalent image in art is known as Christ in Majesty, which developed a rather different iconography. Christ Pantocrator has come to suggest Christ as a benevolent, though also stern and all-powerful, judge of humanity.
