This Legacy Learning Icon Card features the icon of the Harrowing of Hades, the Resurrection of Christ and the emptying of Death of all its captives. On the back is an excerpt from the beautiful Holy Saturday homily of St. Melito of Sardis (2nd century) that is sure to move any heart to tears as it narrates the Lord Jesus' encounter with Adam in the underworld.
Legacy Learning Icon Cards are part of our mission to help educate the world about Christian history. Perfect for learning, prayer, devotions, and giving. Share them with a Sunday School class, or send one to a brother or sister in prison. During hard times, these are an affordable way to keep beautiful holy icons from Legacy Icons' library around the home or office. Bring the light of Faith to others in dark and challenging days.

Learning Icon Cards
These instructional icon cards are beautiful and the text on the back of each card is invaluable to explain the meaning of the icon to those who are unfamiliar with icons. I plan to insert these as gifts in religious greeting cards; however, keep in mind that the cards require a minimal envelope size of 4-3/4" x 6-1/2".
