The Risen Christ Appearing to St. Mary MagdaleneCOPYRIGHTED ART. Do not copy or deep-link to without prior permission from "Come and See" Icons, Books & Art.

Pascha & July 22nd
Troparion (Tone 1)
O holy Mary Magdalene, thou didst keep Christ's commandments and follow Him, Who for our sakes was born of a Virgin. Today we celebrate thy memory and receive forgiveness through thy prayers.

Kontakion (Tone 3)
With others standing before the Savior's Cross, weeping and suffering with the Mother of God,
glorious Mary Magdalene offered praises saying: What is this strange wonder? He chooses to suffer Who upholds the whole creation: Glory to Thy Power.

The stone in this icon resembles a red egg. This is one of the connections with the red eggs that are blessed and distributed at Pascha, as they symbolize the stone that had been rolled away, not to let Christ out, but to reveal that He had risen from the dead!

This Icon is by the hand of Nicholas Papas. It is from the Monastery of the Transfiguration in Ellwood City, Pennsylvania.
