Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Washington, D. C: New York Avenue Presbyterian Church
The central panel depicts through faceted glass the light streaming from the empty tomb whose stone is rolled aside, surrounded by flowers and an ancient tree, and in the far distance the temple and three empty crosses. 'the Resurrection is the light of the world that shines downwards to Mary in the garden on the first Easter morning, kneeling before the Master yet touching him not (john 20: 1 upwards to the upper room when, for the second time, the Christ appears and the doubting Thomas falls at his feet, My Lord and my God, but will not touch the nail prints of the cross. (john - 29) Top left: Cleopas and the other disciple are aware, as they break bread with the stranger whom they met on the road to Emmaus, that it is the Risen Lord; in the background the winding road from Jerusalem whose towers are touched by the setting sun'. (luke 24: 13 - 35) Top right: After a night's fishing the disciples recognize the Risen Christ standing on the shore of the Sea of Tiberius beside a charcoal fire bidding them come and have breakfast. (john 21: 1 - 19) Bottom right: On the road to Damascus, Saul of Tarsus falls to his knees, blinded by the noonday sun, which is also the light of resurrection, through which blindness he will now see that Christ is the Lord. (acts 9: 1-22)
