Answer: It symbolizes the connection between the church and the byzantine emperors.
Explanation: The motive of the present Christ in Byzantine art indicates the connection between the Church and the Byzantine Empire. In view of the discrepancy and intolerance between the Pope and the Constantinople Patriarch, especially after the split of 1054, it can not be said that this motif represents the power of the Pope above the Byzantine Emperors. Otherwise, the Church and the Byzantine rulers, as well as in general everywhere at that time, had very close political ties. The presence of Christ on Byzantine works of art indicates the blessing of the Church which the emperor receives during the crowning.
