Russian Icon - The Descent Into Hades and Anastasis (Resurrection) of Jesus Christ with 2 border saints
Back
This Old Believer's icon depicts the glorious Descent into Hades and Anastasis (Resurrection) of Jesus Christ. In the upper part, Christ rises in a radiant mandorla of heavenly light beside a seated angel and the three Myrrh-bearing Women. Below, He descends into Hades, shattering the gates of Hell, binding Satan, and raising Adam and Eve from the tombs. Following them are the righteous of the Old Testament — kings, prophets, and saints, with crowned David and Solomon among them. The borders have depictions the two family saints: St. Anne and St. Mary of Egypt. Feast day: Holy Pascha. Christ is Risen!
