Theoden King and Easter
A View of Easter from LOTR
I have always felt that this scene linked below, in which Gandalf delivers Theoden, is a wonderful image of the work of the Gospel. It is particularly relevant at Easter.
In Revelations we find this passage: “And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘Behold, I am making all things new.’”
Tolkien himself said:
“The birth, death and resurrection of Jesus means that one day everything sad will come untrue.”
We are all transformed by the resurrection.
Christos Anesti!
