This Fresco is in the church St. Saviour in Chora. The building has some of the best preserved examples of Byzantine mosaics and frescos in the world. I particularly like this one because of its depiction of the resurrection with Jesus grabbing the hands of the dead and pulling them into new life. Anastasia is one of the Greek words for resurrection.
Such a fabulous image. We are reading Revelation as our Second Reading these days. This offers the same kind of comfort. Thanks for sending this.
