Thus begins the most important story in the Christian religion, illustrated here by Jan Pieńkowski with awesome beauty. In a companion volume to his highly acclaimed Christmas, Pieńkowski uses the same combination of silhouetting, brilliant color, and sumptuous ornamental gilding to capture the drama, wonder, and glory of Easter. His skillful selection of verses from the King James Bible presents an understandable and truly meaningful distillation of the last supper, the betrayal by Judas, the trial before Pontius Pilate, the crucifixion, and the resurrection of Jesus.
Easter is a book that will be treasured by the whole family for years to come.
