"Resurrection: A Journey of Faith and Hope Across Continents" In the heartland of Thessalonica, Macedonia, Greece, Europe, a Greek Orthodox icon depicting Christ's resurrection stands tall as a testament to the enduring power of faith. Its vibrant colors and intricate details tell the story of triumph over death. Traveling further east to Novgorod, Russia, we encounter another masterpiece – the Last Judgement Novgorod Icon. Painted with tempera on wood, this awe-inspiring artwork depicts the moment when souls rise from their graves to face divine judgment. But it is in Latroun, Israel in the Middle East where an Icon captures our attention. Here Jesus emerges victorious from his tomb, radiating light that symbolizes eternal life and salvation for all who believe. Moving forward through time and space brings us to c1514 Venice where Titian's Noli Me Tangere painting portrays Jesus appearing before Mary Magdalene after his resurrection. The intense emotions captured by Titian remind us that even in moments of doubt or despair, hope can be found in encounters with divinity. Across continents once again to Madaba Jordan at Saint George's Greek Orthodox Church; a mosaic depicting Jesus riding on a donkey during Palm Sunday reminds us of his humble entry into Jerusalem before his crucifixion and subsequent resurrection. Raphael's oil painting adorning St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City takes center stage next – The Resurrection altarpiece shines brightly as it tells the story of Christ rising from death itself. This masterpiece serves as a beacon for pilgrims seeking solace within its hallowed halls. Finally arriving at St Petersburg’s Church on Spilled Blood (Church of Resurrection), we witness Doubting Thomas' transformation upon encountering resurrected Jesus firsthand. Through this powerful scene depicted within its walls, doubts are dispelled and faith is restored. From Greece to Russia; Israel to Italy, the concept transcends borders and cultures.
