Descensus Christi ad Inferos

April 03, 2010 by skvanderveen

The "Harrowing of Hell" is a doctrine in Christian theology, referenced in the Church's historic creeds, stating that Christ descended into Hell and proclaimed the gospel to the dead. A haiku for Holy Saturday:

Harrowing of Hell:
holy raid, search and rescue,
the ultimate coup.
