The DBBE team wishes you all a happy Easter! 🐣🐇
This beautiful miniature of the Resurrection of Christ can be found immediately after the miniature we shared on Good Friday (definitely go and have a look!), in the 14th-century Gospel Athos Batopediou 937. Also this illumination is accompanied by a short poem written above and below.
✒️ Ἅιδην νεκρώσας καὶ κενώσας τοὺς τάφους
προῆλθε Χριστὸς ἐξαναστὰς τοῦ τάφου.
📖 Hades tötend und die Gräber leerend
trat Christus vor, auferstanden aus dem Grab.
