Wooden Icon of the Resurrection of Christ (descent into hell)
In the center of the composition, surrounded by blue glory, is Jesus Christ, trampling underfoot the gates of hell. With his right hand He holds Adam's hand, and with his left - an eight-pointed cross. To the right of Him are the Old Testament kings, and to the left behind Adam are Eve, Abel, John the Baptist and two prophets.
The Descent of Christ into Hell is a Christian dogma that claims that after the crucifixion, Jesus Christ descended into hell and, having crushed its gates, brought his gospel sermon to the underworld, freed the souls imprisoned there and brought out of hell all the Old Testament righteous people, as well as Adam and Eve. The descent of Christ into hell is included in the Passion of Christ. The Church believes that this event occurred on the second day of Christ’s stay in the tomb and remembers this event during the Holy Saturday service.
