The Stations of the Cross

15. Jesus descends into death and rises to glory
The deepest point is the moment of victory.
Symbolically, Jesus grasps Adam and Eve and rises with them, and with them all of us, their descendents, into resurrection life.
No symbol is needed here.
Instead the gold that surrounds Jesus continues over the edge and down the back of the panel,
as out of sight as is the life beyond death to us now.
