ON THE LEFT: A stylized Byzantine icon depicts Christ’s descent into Hell. Jesus, robed in white with a golden halo, stands in a radiant mandorla of orange light. Beneath his feet lie shattered gates and broken locks. He grasps the wrists of Adam and Eve, drawing them from the tombs. Adam is bearded and kneels in reverence; Eve reaches out with open hands. ON THE RIGHT: A quote in white serif font reads: "Truly he goes to seek out our first parent like a lost sheep; he wishes to visit those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death. He goes to free the prisoner Adam and his fellow-prisoner Eve from their pains, he who is God, and Adam’s son." — Ancient Homily for Holy Saturday, Office of Readings, Liturgy of the Hours.
May the blessings of Easter be with you, your family and loved ones.
