Icons do not depict the actual event of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ directly. To quote from the book: The Incarnate God, Vol.2, (translated by Paul Meyendorff:) “Since about the 4th century, the Church has permitted only two icons of the Resurrection for liturgical use. These are the image of the holy women at the tomb, and the descent of Christ into Hell.”
As Western art and civilization moved towards subjective interpretation and self-expression, artists were encouraged to imagine moments not necessarily described in Scripture. These images can also, of course, be quite beautiful (think of the Sistine Chapel, for example), but are regarded as religious paintings and not as icons. Icons are liturgical art–theology in line and color, and not simply the product of imagination, emotions, and a skilled hand. They are steeped in Scripture…

Note: Whilst preparing this I looked for the article in the Journal of Medical Ethics. The paper on after-birth abortion referred to was by Australians Alberto Giubilini and Francesca Minerva. Mysteriously, their article has ‘disappeared’ from the on-line version of said Journal.

There were 44 million abortions worldwide in 2008 according to last month’s issue of the Lancet.
It is a huge number; big enough to worry the editor, who declared that reducing abortion “is now an urgent priority for all countries”.
But not everyone agrees. Also last month in another medical journal, two Australian academics opened abortion’s last frontier with a discussion of the “ethics” of “after-birth abortion”.
The argument is simple enough. There are persons and “potential persons”, who are in fact “non-persons” and can be killed.

The Ethics of Infanticide: Why Should the Baby Die? Reply
Fr Joseph Tham, LC, MD, PhD
“Doctors said they could do no more and sent me home to die – I’m still waiting.”– Nicky Chapman
Suppose you delivered a baby with osteogenesis imperfecta, a rare condition with defect in collagen formation that makes the bones brittle and easy to fracture. In this case, the condition commonly known as brittle bone disease was so severe that at birth alone the infant suffered 50 fractures. The prognosis was very poor, and the baby would probably grow up blind, deaf and unable to communicate and with severely diminished mental functions. What would you recommend the parents to do? More…
