Russian icon “The Raising of Lazarus”
Russian icon “The Raising of Lazarus” created by the unknown master in the 15th century. As the name
suggests, the icon depicts the story of the raising of Lazarus. To the left, we
can see Jesus Christ in a blue garment, surrounded by the Jews who came to see
the miracle. Lazarus called forth from his tomb is depicted in the grave wrappings
to the right. He is standing in the black deep of the cave that symbolizes death.
