December 22, 2010 - Catechism 647-650

I find it strange that there isn’t a story about the Resurrection. I don’t know if I have ever thought about it before. Such an important event, with no witness. Yet, even if there were a witness, would they have been able to explain or describe what they were seeing. I would imagine it would come across like something like the visions in Revelation. I was thinking about this in Adoration this morning and we have a large painting of the Resurrection behind the monstrance. Obviously this is just this artist interpretation, but in others depicting the same event Jesus is always holding a flag with a red cross on it. Does anyone know where this comes from or what it stands for.
