Description
The Anastasis scene is to be found on the lunette, of the northern wall of the naos. As the other story-telling scenes regarding the Christological cycle, except the Women at the Tomb, the scene is entitled with the label Anastasis.
The representation shows Jesus pulling, Adam and Eve out of their tombs. Next to Eve, Cain is painted while behind Jesus Christ Prophets John the Baptist, Solomon and David are represented.
The specific Anastasis scene existent since the eleventh century, and painted at Asinu in the early twelfth century, is considered to be the oldest type of the Descent into Hell scenes. The fourteenth-century layer seems to copy the original representation, and mistakenly, adds the name of Cain to the child of the proto-parents, who remained anonymous since the twelfth century. A certain addition though, to the 1105 scene, is the scroll of John the Baptist, which reads: 'Behold the one of whom I said he comes after me' (John 1:29–30).
