Good Friday, A.D. 2024

Posted on by Anglican Internet Church

My brain must have slipped out of gear last week when I mentioned that the next Blog posting would be focused on the Hagia Sophia. With apologies to our site visitors, the promised posting has been postponed to late in the week following Easter Sunday. Meanwhile I offer site visitors two exceptional images from the period from Noon on Good Friday until Easter morning. The lower image was used a Illustration No. 27 in the AIC Bookstore Publication, Easter: The Resurrection of Our Lord in Scripture, Art & Christian Tradition. Additional information about the book is found on the AIC Bookstore page.

Erection of the Cross, opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, James Tissot, part of his Life of Christ series, 1886-1894, Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, NY. Public Domain.
The Harrowing of Hell, one of four full-pages illuminations in colors and gold leaf on parchment, German Homilary, produced in the lower Rhine region of Germany, circa 1320. W.148, folio 21r, Walters Art Museum, Baltimore, MD. CC0 license.
