Based on ancient prototypes, the Sacred Art icon of “The Resurrection” shows Christ’s triumphant descent into hell after his death on the cross on Good Friday. Christ stands on the fallen gates or doors of hell, symbolizing the victory of the divine over evil.

The two tombs in front are those of Adam on the viewer’s left and Eve on the viewer’s right. These signify that Christ’s arrival is for all time starting at the beginning, and that he is for all people. It is he who raises Adam and Eve by their wrists from their tombs.
