Title
Easter, Commemorative Issue
Description
In 30 AD, at a time of growing unrest and Jewish resistance to Roman rule, Jesus enters Jerusalem and proceeds to face the High Priests
of the Temple.
Christ’s entry into Jerusalem, riding a donkey, is an expression of humility which in today’s materialistic world is almost non-existent. In the scene, Christ and his disciples are advaning from the right while a crowd is welcoming Christ at the gates of the city with the rotunda of the Holy Sepulcher in the background.
The icon which is painted on canvas originates from the Church of Panagia Chrysaliniotissa in Lefkosia. It is currently housed at the Archbishop Makarios III Foundation Museum. In 1937, David Talbot Rice was able to discern the date to 1546 AD.
