Jesus' Resurrection (in Russian above it reads “Воскресение Господне” – “Resurrection of the Lord”).

At the top, the risen Jesus Christ appears, wrapped in a luminous tunic and rising above a cloud.

From Him emanate golden rays that symbolize divine glory and the victory over death.

Below are the apostles and disciples, surprised, kneeling or looking upward.

Among them is usually also Mary Magdalene or other holy women who witnessed the miracle.
