Pascha

John Thomas’ intimate work documents the Sacred Holy Week services of the Orthodox Church. The journey climaxes into the most hopeful day of all Christianity – Easter commonly referred to as “Pascha”. Each day of Holy Week captures both the community’s prayerful participation and the spirituality of each service as experienced by the faithful worldwide.

(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!
