Peter and John Running to the Tomb of Christ, by Eugene Burnand
Holy God, Holy and Mighty,
Holy and merciful Savior,
deliver us not into the bitterness of eternal death.
- The Burial of the Dead, Rite Two from The Book of Common Prayer
I know that my Redeemer lives,
and that in the end he will stand upon the earth.
And after my skin has been destroyed,
yet in my flesh I will see God;
I myself will see him
with my own eyes - I, and not another.
How my heart yearns within me!

This picture really captures Peter and John's sense of urgency. And I love the verse from Job that's paired with it.

Peter and John ran to the tomb Sunday morning, not Holy Saturday. Burnand has a "Holy Saturday" painting of Apostles in the upper room - I may be wrong, but I think
this is a mistake.
