The Resurrection

Donor: The Estate of the Late Richard Ivory, Rawlins Cross

Builder: Louis Koch, Beauvais, France

The Gospels do not narrate the actual episode of Christ's resurrection, the gospels tell of his followers at the tomb on the morning of the third day.

Christ is rising up gloriously from death. He is shining and is depicted with the cross in the background.

The Resurrection panel presents the risen Christ, triumphant over death. He floats over the tomb, carrying a heavenly banner.

An angel kneels beneath him, gazing with the stunned soldiers who guarded his tomb.

Feast day: Easter
