The Resurrection by Andrea Mantegna, 1457-1459
The Resurrection is the dawn of a new creation, a light still more wonderful than the Fiat lux of the world’s first makingBy Bishop Mark Davies
On the first Easter morning, the faithful women had gone through the last shadows of night to the tomb “… just as the sun was rising” (Mk.16: 2). Yet, this first light to which the Gospel draws us, results not from the earth’s movement rather it radiates from the cosmic event of Christ’s Resurrection in which our world and our lives are seen anew.
