Rising up with Christ
Seeing that image of Anastasis in Cappadocia led us to explore more deeply the Eastern church's visual depictions of the resurrection. Over the next 15 years, we traveled across the lands of Eastern Christianity, from the Byzantine Tiber to the Syriac Tigris and from the Russian Neva to the Coptic Nile. As we traveled and photographed artwork, we noticed a pattern. We discovered that the Western church and the Eastern church have developed two different ways of depicting the resurrection, each involving its own iconography and its own theological vision. The West celebrates the individual resurrection. Christ rises triumphantly and magnificently-but utterly alone. The East, on the other hand, celebrates the universal resurrection. Here Christ also rises triumphantly and magnificently-but he takes all of humanity with him. As we've traveled and studied the Bible and early human civilizations, it's become increasingly clear to us that the main problem from which humans need to be saved is escalatory violence.
