| Left: Ukrainian Orthodox icon of the Resurrection, painted by the Canadian iconographer Heiko C. Schlieper. Referred to as "The Descent into Hades" by the Western Church, it shows the Gates of Hell shattered, with locks and keys scattered below the figure of Christ, who holds a cross. Adam and Eve are depicted being called forth from death, along with the righteous of the Old Testament. | Right: Greek Orthodox Crucifixion icon depicting Christ nailed to the cross. A Greek inscription on the upper cross bar translates to read "The King of Glory". Surrounding the cross are Greek symbols for: "Jesus Christ". In the upper corners are two medallions with inscriptions above which read "The Moon" and "The Sun" respectively. |
