Resurrection of Lazarus Icon

This is a silkscreen reproduction with gold leaf and hand-painted details, crafted according to tradition. It depicts the Resurrection of Lazarus, one of the great miracles of Christ recorded in the Gospel of John (John 11:1–45). Four days after Lazarus’ death, Christ raised him from the tomb, revealing His divine power over life and death and foreshadowing His own Resurrection.

In Orthodox iconography, Christ is shown standing before the cave where Lazarus lies wrapped in burial cloths, commanding him to come forth. Mary and Martha, the sisters of Lazarus, kneel in faith, while the astonished disciples and people of Bethany look on. This miracle reveals Christ as the Resurrection and the Life.

The Resurrection of Lazarus is commemorated on Lazarus Saturday, the day before Palm Sunday, at the threshold of Holy Week. It is a feast of joy and triumph, preparing the faithful for Christ’s Passion and Resurrection.

The icon of the Resurrection of Lazarus is a meaningful gift for Easter, Holy Week, baptisms, name days, and families seeking hope in trials. It is especially suitable for new homes and prayer corners, reminding the faithful of Christ’s promise of eternal life.
