Resurrection, Alabaster Carving English, 1400-1420 London, Victoria and Albert Museum |
Alleluia! Alleluia!
I wish everyone a Blessed and Joyful Easter.
The long days of Lent are over. The sadness of Good Friday has passed and the great proclamation of Easter, the Exsultet, has been proclaimed. Easter is here at last!
The iconography of the Resurrection is a topic that I examined extensively in 2011, so I refer you to the essays on the subject listed below. I intend to update these articles with new materials during the Easter season, so please visit the links occasionally during this time.

Christ is Risen! Alleluia, Alleluia! Below is video of the great triple alleluia sung only at Easter Vigil. It is followed by the reading of the Gospel from Easter Vigil (filmed at the Brompton Oratory in London, England, 2008).
