Extreme Humility of Christ

 Chapter 11 of Rev. George W Kosicki C.S.B."s "God's Radiation Therapy - A PRIEST, A Bio-Chemist - A Hermit Reflects on the Eucharist." mentions about two icons , one of which is the torso of Jesus in the tomb with the title "Extreme Humility". Here is the icon I found in the web :

There are some good quotes I found in this site , "A Reader's Guide to Orthodox Icons" .It says that we Christians are meant to be humble. "Yet this crucial virtue is very illusive: as soon as we think we have it, we don't". Yet, we need not despair, if we are ready to attribute everything to God rather than to yourself. To know humility we must look to Christ.

Specifically we can look to the Icon of Christ called “Extreme Humility”. This Icon shows the crucified Jesus Christ, in the tomb, usually bearing the marks of His murder and torture.
Here, “extreme” means “pre-eminent” or “ultimate”. So what is “ultimate humility” according to this icon?
“At the arrival of unjust persecution, bow your head. At the jeers of false accusations, cross your arms over your heart, whether physically or interiorly, and gratefully receive what is spitefully offered. And when faced with the question, ‘How far, how far do I tolerate this shame, this injustice’, remember that the answer is the grave. This is what the icon labels ‘Extreme Humility’, and it is humility that we must strive to emulate each day.”
