Spring Suite pt III: Royal Iris

This is the last part of Spring Suite, in a more measured, maybe more solemn format, which I think was appropriate for this last segment and its strong spiritual theme. The ties between spring and the death and resurrection of Christ are hard to separate; in spring, we have this powerful image of life surviving death and resurrecting back into the light, back into color, overcoming the sadness and death of winter. Every year we are reminded of this promise of Christ, this great hope that through faith, we can gain a passage through this reinvention of life. So the question becomes: is Christ a symbol of spring, or spring a fulfillment of Christ? I'm with the latter interpretation, meaning that it becomes impossible to separate nature from spiritualism. estory
