The orthodox image of the Bridegroom is not simply a summary image of the Passion or Deposition of our Lord. It is an eminently resurrected image, an image of glory and triumph for the Church. At the sight of the dead Jesus, the Church recognizes her Savior, her Bridegroom. The one who rose by catalyzing the power of death. He sees the King of Glory. (FROM THE BACK COVER OF THE BOOK)
