Resurrection

Resurrection Art Iconography

Resurrection Art Iconography

May 18, 2023

Last updated: February 4, 2025 Happy Easter!!  On Easter we celebrate the triumph of Christ over death!  Ok, yes I know – Easter was a few weeks ago already, and yes, I am often late for these kinds of things.  However, we are still technically in the Easter season until Pentecost (right around the corner now), so I figured I should hurry up and just finish this blog post off.  This year, I would like to share some really great artistic depictions of the resurrection.  The Bible does not contain a description of the exact moment when Jesus actually rose...

Andy and I recently returned from a trip to Spain, and the last place we visited before coming home was the Prado...

Midwives of Hope – Easter 2017

Midwives of Hope – Easter 2017

Apr 15, 2017

This year I have tried to enter into the rhythm of Palm Sunday through Holy Week through Easter mindfully.  As part of being mindful, I spent some time on Good Friday reflecting on the mysteries of death and resurrection – of the seasons of life.  As always, I am impressed with the faith and commitment of the courageous women, who must have beaten down an incredible amount of anxiety and sorrow, as they gathered at the foot of the cross.  And as always, I am moved by the mixture of grief and love that sent the women to the tomb...
