EDITORS COMMENTS
This diptych, dating back to the 5th century AD, showcases the miracles of Christ in a stunning ivory print. Displayed at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, this ancient artwork depicts various scenes of divine intervention and healing. The intricate details on this piece are truly remarkable. From left to right, we witness Christ's miraculous acts unfold before our eyes. The first panel portrays Jesus multiplying loaves of bread and fish to feed a multitude of people, symbolizing his ability to provide abundance even in times of scarcity. Moving along, we encounter images depicting Christ's power over sickness and disability. He is shown healing those afflicted with palsy, blindness, leprosy - restoring their health and granting them newfound hope. In another scene that captures our attention, Lazarus emerges from his tomb after being raised from the dead by Jesus' touch. This powerful moment serves as a testament to Christ's ability to conquer death itself. Throughout this diptych, animals also play an intriguing role. We see depictions of a healer or bonesetter tending to injured creatures - highlighting not only Christ's compassion for all living beings but also emphasizing his role as the ultimate healer. This extraordinary artwork offers viewers a glimpse into early Christian beliefs and serves as a reminder of the enduring power behind these timeless miracles performed by Jesus himself.
