Western Depiction of the Resurrection

Easter Greetings to our Western Christian friends!

The OrthodoxBridge is taking a brief break to give both sides the opportunity to focus our attention on our God and Savior Jesus Christ, to remember his dying on the Cross and his glorious third day Resurrection.

This year Western and Eastern churches are celebrating Easter on different Sundays.  If you are wondering about the reasons for this, I found the following sites below helpful.

Timeanddate.com (a secular site)

Zenit (a Roman Catholic site)

Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America

Eastern Orthodox Resurrection Icon

There is also a subtle difference in the way the West and the East depict Christ’s resurrection.  By comparing the two religious images (icons) we can learn much about the two traditions.  I will explain the differences next weekend.

I plan to resume regular blogging shortly afterwards.

I am hard at work on the third response to Pastor Steven Wedgeworth.  I have received several emails from him that should improve content of my reviews.  Your patience is appreciated!

Looking Across the Bridge

A new page  Resources  has been added to the banner above.  It’s an annotated listing of resources I believe would be helpful to visitors to the OrthodoxBridge.  It contains Internet sites, books by Orthodox writers, books by non-Orthodox writers, and reference reference works.  It was made with people like Derrick in mind.  Derrick, I hope you find this helpful!
