Good Morning, Dan.
I love the stained glass.
Made my day with all the glorious stained glass windows! Thank you!
Looking through this collection of art (thanks Dan!) I noticed something that has not been commented upon in the artistic depictions nor in our commentary. That is:
1) Jesus requests that Mary let go of Him because He’s going to ascend to His Father. He’s been resurrected, but has not yet presented His Firstfruits offering to the Father in heaven.
2) Just minutes later after He has appeared to Mary Magdalene, He appears to the two other Mary’s (Alphaeus and Salome Zebedee) and they do cling to Him, apparently as long as they wished to. To me this indicates Jesus had completed His trip to heaven and returned.
Matthew 28:9 And [b]as they went to tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held Him by the feet and worshiped Him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
