The Resurrection of Jesus | Christ is risen! | Large XLG Silver and Gold foiled icon on woo | Size: 15 7/8" x 13 1/8"

Christ is Living! In this Orthodox Icon, He stands victorious outside the tomb, as angels look on. An Easter gift for the Orthodox Christian

This beloved icon, also known as “Christ’s Descent into Hades” or “Anastasis,” is a wonderful example of “theology in color” because of the depth of instruction it contains. “One of the key things to remember is that icons are not meant to be ‘photo recordings’ of what happened. These are symbolic tools that assist us in comprehension of the gospel truth through our sense of sight.” Thus this icon celebrates the fullness of what Jesus accomplished, beyond bodily rising from the grave: “The Orthodox Icon of the Resurrection is not content with simply showing us the Risen Christ, or the empty tomb; the Victory shown in the Icon of the Resurrection is complete”
