I take it to refer to the Holy Spirit, who is appropriately titled Life-Giver in the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed. More broadly, it means true vitality that leads to well-being and eternal being (alluding to Saint Maximus the Confessor). The subtitle - for the life of the world - is a biblical reference to Jesus’ sacrifice, cited from the Divine Liturgy of Saint John Chrysostom - that great liturgical prayer recited by the priest before faithful Orthodox Christians during the Eucharistic celebration.
