(Box of 10) - Traditional Byzantine Icons beautifully tell the story of Christ's Passion and Resurrection.  Beginning with the Raising of Lazarus these icons follow the events of Holy Week that lead up to the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ:  His Entry into Jerusalem, the Washing of His Disciple's Feet, the Last Supper and, in the center of the cross, the Holy Resurrection. This Paschal card is a powerful icon of the message of salvation.  (card and envelope in matching ivory color) Inside: ?. . . the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve and to give His life a ransom for many." Mat. 20:28 Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!

Professor Kesich expertly addresses questions of anti-Semitism and the family quarrels between Jews and Christians in the historical context as well as explaining the trial of Jesus and the purpose of His suffering.
