Description
The risen Christ and the Easter proclamation
Jesus Christ is shown above the tomb, holding a white banner marked with a red cross. Guards gather below, while white drapery and a halo distinguish the risen figure. The banner is a traditional artistic sign of Christ's victory over death, rather than an object described in the Gospel accounts.
Reading the Resurrection scene
Matthew 28 recounts the empty tomb, the guards' fear and the announcement that Jesus has risen. This composition brings those themes together in a devotional image. It is an artistic interpretation of the Easter mystery, not a depiction of an eyewitness account of the moment of Resurrection. The figure above the tomb expresses the Christian belief that the crucified Jesus lives.
For Easter prayer
The icon can accompany the Easter Gospel readings in a home prayer corner or a parish meeting room. It also offers a visual focus for baptismal catechesis, which connects new life in Christ with his death and Resurrection. The central banner and the tomb make this version distinct from images of Christ descending to the dead.
Made in Poland on linden wood
Art Christiana makes this icon to order on a linden-wood board with two coats of primer. The image is printed directly onto the prepared surface and finished with decorative gold-tone metal leaf (schlagmetal). A certificate bearing the production year and a hanging fixture are attached to the back.
