Wear the Easter story in miniature on this colorful and detailed button, which displays a vintage painting by the Italian artist, Nerius. The work was created around 1320 and depicts two scenes from the Easter story. At the top, the holy women approach Jesus' tomb but find it empty. Below this in the second scene, the women meet the resurrected Jesus as they leave. Image: Manuscript Illumination with Scenes of Easter in an Initial A, from an Antiphonary.
