Depicting the moment of the Resurrection when Christ appears to Mary Magdalene outside the empty tomb, this mural captures one of the most profound encounters in the Gospel—when the Risen Lord reveals His victory over death and calls His followers to faith. His words, “Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father,” point to the new reality of the Resurrection: not a return to earthly life, but the beginning of glorified life and the promise of our own redemption. Rich in symbolism—from the open tomb and distant Golgotha to the blooming plants, flowing water, and presence of the Trinity—the scene reflects the fullness of the Paschal Mystery and the hope it offers to the Church.

Prayerfully designed and painted by artist Cecilia Smith, with the support of clergy and parishioners, the mural stands as a lasting visual proclamation of the Gospel and an invitation to all who enter to encounter the Risen Christ.
