and the from the east....

المسيح قام من بين الأموات
و وطئ الموت بالموت
و وهب الحياة
للذين في القبور

Al-Masīh qām min baīni’l-amwāt  Wa wati’ al-mawt bi’l-mawt Wa wahab al-hayāt Lil-ladhīna fī’l-qubūr!

Χριστός Ανέστη εκ νεκρών, θανάτω θάνατον πατήσας και τοις εν τοις μνήμασιν, ζωήν χαρισάμενος.

Christos Anesti ek nekron thanato thanaton patisas ke tis en tis mnimasi, zoin kharisamenos.

Christ is risen from the dead,
Trampling down death by death,
And upon those in the tombs
Bestowing life.

In the resurrection icon, look at how Christ grabs the hands of Adam and Eve, pulling them out from the grave, with him standing on the cross and, death in chains.

can't wait for Mel Gibson's sequel, where he would depict with some artistic licence what Christ would have done once he pass on and before he was resurrected. The body was resting, but His spirit was busy at work, setting free all who have died before Him but cannot enter into union with the Father.

That's quite true
