In a final glorious salvo against death, Christ appears out of a brilliant cloud above his tomb, surrounded by angels and stupefying the Roman soldiers below, who scatter while shielding their eyes from the celestial glow. Reinforcing the gravity of the moment are the small skull and snake-encircled globe on Christ’s sarcophagus lid, once symbolizing wickedness and death, which now represent the vanquished enemies of humanity.
