The scene represents the Resurrection of Christ according to the Gospel of Matthew (28,2-4), as revealed by the presence of an angel moving away the stone, and of the soldiers. According to the Christian tradition, the bodily resurrection was the restoration to life of a body transformed and nourished by the spirit, as described by Paul and the Evangelists, which led to the affirmation of Christianity. In Christian theology, the Resurrection of Jesus is ‘the fundamental mystery of faith’, as recalled by Easter, together with the remaining Christological mystery (Incarnation, Passion and Death), and together with the Logia and the works of the ministry of Jesus. For Christians, the resurrection of Jesus is a guarantee that all the dead Christians will come back to life at the time of the parousia (second coming) of Christ. -
