In iconography, the Resurrection is portrayed most commonly in two forms, either as the Descent into Hades or as the Myrrhbearing Women. In the Descent, Christ enters into Hades as the Master of life to rescue those souls waiting for the Redeemer. He appears bright as the sun in the strength of His divinity - notice the dramatic shading of the gold background - and grasps the hand of Adam to deliver him from the darkness of death. Stepping forth from the tomb, Adam offers his free hand in welcome while Eve timidly offers hers covered by her cloak. Standing behind Eve are Saint Joseph the Patriarch (left), the prophet Isaiah (center), and the prophet Micah (right). On the left side of the icon stand King David (left) and King Solomon (right) along with the the prophet Daniel (left) and Saint John the Baptist (right). Holding high the instrument of His victory, Christ has come to set His people free.
