EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print captures the awe-inspiring scene of "Holy Women at Christ's Tomb" from the Matenadaran Gospel, dating back to 1286. The illuminated manuscript, found in the esteemed Mesrop Mashtots Institute of Ancient Manuscripts (Matenadaran) in Yerevan, Armenia, showcases a momentous event in Christian history. In this delicate watercolor on parchment artwork by the Master of Codex Matenadaran from the 13th century, we witness three devoted disciples of Jesus Christ - Mary Magdalene, Mary of Magdala, and another holy woman - standing before an empty tomb. Their faces are filled with astonishment and reverence as they discover that their beloved teacher has risen from death. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life this glorious mystery known as the Resurrection. The white angel hovering above symbolizes divine intervention and guides these faithful women towards salvation. This image is a testament to their unwavering faith and loyalty even amidst great sorrow. As we gaze upon this illuminated art piece steeped in medieval tradition, it reminds us of the profound impact Christianity has had throughout history. It serves as a visual representation of Easter's significance within Christian belief – celebrating Christ's triumph over death and offering hope for eternal life. This print invites us to reflect on our own faith journey while appreciating the beauty and craftsmanship behind this remarkable piece of religious artistry.
