Located in the Church of the Holy Savior in Chora, Constantinople (now Istanbul, Turkey) this fresco bears the title Η ΑΝΑΣΤΑΣΗΣ, The Resurrection.

At the center, the living Christ, resplendent in light, has descended into hades, the abode of the dead, where He raises Adam and Eve from captivity. To either side stand righteous kings, prophets and saints from the Old Testament, and apostles and saints from the New Testament.

Under His feet are the gates of hades, which He has broken open from within; scattered are all the shattered locks and chains of death, and a bound figure personifying hades, now rendered powerless.
