TOT
Tóth Ikonen
Central to the icon is Christ, full of sorrows, standing upright in a sarcophagus with his torso exposed. He is mourned by Mary, His mother. In a tender gesture, she rests her head against that of her Son. Although Christ appears as if no longer belonging to the living, He still comforts her with the words: 'Do not weep for Me, Mother'. The words of Christ are a clear reference to victory over death. This depiction symbolizes the dualistic reality between death and victory. The theme is part of the Easter liturgy and is commemorated on Holy Saturday.
