Description

From left, the reliefs "Entombment", "Resurrection" and "Noli me tangere" ("Don't touch me!", also translated as "don't stop me!") - words that, according to the Gospel of John (John 20:17), Jesus spoke to Mary Magdalene after the Resurrection. The phrase "Noli me tangere" is also used in art to describe the image of Christ appearing to Mary Magdalene after the resurrection. This theme appeared in the early Middle Ages, in sculpture and graphics, as well as in mural (fresco, polychrome), book, and panel paintings. The tradition was also common in modern and later times. Often in this depiction, Christ is shown as a gardener with a shovel (pictured), or holding a flag.
