Handmade Wooden Greek Orthodox Icon “The Resurrection of the Lord” 16x11cm – Byzantine Icon of Christ’s Descent into Hades

In the Orthodox icon of the Resurrection, Christ is shown in His glorified body, clothed in shining garments, standing over the shattered gates of Hades and reaching down to lift Adam (and often Eve) out of their tombs, revealing that His Resurrection is the liberation of all humanity from death and corruption. Broken locks, keys, and chains scattered beneath His feet, together with the dark abyss of Hades and the bound figure of Death or Satan, symbolize that by His Cross and Resurrection Christ has destroyed the power of death and the devil, fulfilling the Paschal proclamation that He has “trampled down death by death”.​ This 16x11cm handmade wooden icon is perfect for a home prayer corner, dining room, office, or Paschal gift, and is especially meaningful for the sick and those in distress, as a constant reminder that the Risen Lord descends into every personal “Hades” to raise believers into the light of forgiveness, freedom, and eternal life.
