This weeks image is from a picture I took at the Garden Tomb in Jerusalem, appropriately enough - that is, unless you believe the Church of the Holy Sepulchre to the be the more likely burial spot....
The quotation comes from the writings of Saint Ephraim the Syrian:
"With You, Lord, I
will flee, that I may gain in You Life in every place. The prison with You is
no prison, for in You man goes up into Heaven: the grave with You is no grave,
for You are the Resurrection (cf. Jn. 11:25)!"
