A Video Visit to the Icon Corner - Easter Sunday

Join with Catholic:Under The Hood in another meditation upon the icons of the Eastern Church by looking at the icon of the Resurrection. This icon is based upon the apocryphal Gospel of Nicodemus and is sometimes called the Harrowing of Hell because it relates Christ descent among the dead to free the souls of those who died before his resurrection.

Today we celebrate Christ's victory over death and, in turn, our own libertation from the forces of death and darkness. Christ died for the sake of the world and in him the whole world is reborn.

For more information about the Harrowing of Hell, check out this link.

A Video Visit to the Icon Corner - Good Friday

Join me in a meditation upon the icons of the Crucifixion and the Deposition for the Cross as we contemplate Christ's saving death upon the Cross.

The icons we will look at for this episode reflect the sorrow over the suffering and death of Jesus while also revealing the glory of the salvation that we have obtained through his love. I invite you to also spend time reflecting upon the icons in prayer, uniting yourself to our Saviour's redeeming grace.

A Video Visit to the Icon Corner - The Last Supper

Join us as we meditate upon the icon of the Last Supper and see how it reflects both the union of Christ obtained through the Eucharist as well as foreshadowing Christ betrayal and abandonment by those who followed him.

In this visit to the Icon Corner, we also learn about the importance of this icon within the Eastern Church and how it can help us to reflect more fully upon our own relationship with Jesus Christ.

A Video Visit to the Icon Corner - Palm Sunday

Join me in a special meditation upon the icon for Palm Sunday as we reflect on the many images reflected there - fear in the mind of the apostles as Jesus rides to his death, joy in the eyes of the children and those who eagerly anticipate the coming of their King.

The Palm Sunday icon deeply reflects the image of our glorious Lord in his humility and thus also serves as a call for us to reflect on our own lives and calls us to imitate the obedience of the Lord which led to suffering and death, but also led to resurrection.
