The Icon of the Resurrection
T'oros Roslin Gospels, The holy women at the sepulchre, Walters Manuscript W.539, fol. 128r
By Fr. Garabed Kochakian
This sacred icon depicts the Resurrection at the Lord’s tomb.
This is the greatest story ever told, captured in both word and sacred image. It is the heart of our Christian faith, the unshakable truth we proclaim:
Christ is risen from the dead!
Քրիստոս հարյավ ի մեռելոց՝ Օրհնյալ է յարութիւնն Քրիստոսի!
(Krisdos haryav ee merelotz! Orhnyal e harutiunn Krisdosi!)
Blessed is the Resurrection of Christ!
This is our Medz Avedis—our Great News—the triumph of life over death, hope over despair, and light over darkness. He is risen indeed!
