To return to an old discussion on this list: Visiting my Irish-American
Russian Orthodox brother-in-law in Connecticut, I noticed an Easter card -
Orthodox Easter fell a week later than the western Easter this year. It
portrayed an icon showing
the harrowing of hell. Christ was shown pulling Adam out of the infernal
regions.
Next to Adam, her hands outstretched ready for the next pull-up (whatever
happened
to 'Women and children first'?) stands his mrs., Eve. Other hopefuls are also
standing by.
Oriens.
