Thanks.

Pressing the ring and thumb together like this is similar to the Prithvi Mudra, though generally the free fingers are kept straight. It is a healing mudra, spiritually used for grounding and stability.

>In Greek Orthodox iconography, as also in early Christian iconography, the gesture of the blessing hand actually shapes the letters IC XC, an abbreviation for the Greek words Jesus (IHCOYC) Christ (XPICTOC) which includes the first and last letter of each word.

The thumb naturally touches the first two fingers. To make that gesture takes focus. It's for focusing. I agree that it is like what this anon says >>19573498. It is for healing. Make it yourself and think about it. Tell us what you thought while making it.

Pointer and middle finger form a cross. Common thing for Orthodox icons

Why do these hand gestures appear in Hinduism and Buddhism as well? I believe they even appear in Hebraic mysticism, though I am not certain. They must mean more than is let on, else they would not be universal.

They don't. The different understanding of the similar gestures has been made clear int he thread. The mudra is also made with straight fingers aside from the ring connected to the thumb - the Christian icon is made with curved fingers. And the usual icon in Hindu/Buddhist depictions is the jnana mudra, made with the pointer finger. This mudra and its variations usually deal with imparting knowledge.

The universal aspect is from the fact that hands are all shaped the same, and move in similar ways.
