b) Bartolomeo Descent of into Limbo, Luke 24:1-8 and Cezane- In Limbo Luke 23:44-46
The belief that Christ descended into hell after his death
on the cross is a widely held doctrine in Christianity, although the exact
interpretation and significance of this belief can vary greatly among different
denominations.
In the New Testament, several passages suggest that He descended into the realm of the dead, including 1 Peter 3:18-19 and Ephesians
4:9-10. These passages are often interpreted as referring to His descent
into hell, although there are differing opinions on what exactly this means and
what the significance of this event was.
For some Christians, the idea of Christ descending into hell
is seen as a triumphal moment in which Christ conquered death and hell, freeing
the souls of the just who had been waiting there. For others, it is seen as a
demonstration of His love for all people, including those who were dead, and
as an act of reconciliation between God and humanity.
However, some interpret these passages in different ways or
do not believe that Jesus descended into hell. Overall, the belief in Christ's
descent into hell is a complex and multi-faceted doctrine that continues to be
debated and discussed within Christianity.

"The Lord is presented at the altar" is a reference
to the Liturgical celebration of the presentation of Jesus in the Temple, which
is also known as the Feast of the Purification of the Virgin Mary or Candlemas.
This event is described in the Gospel of Luke (2:22-38) and is considered one
of the earliest celebrations of the Lords life.
In this story, Mary and Joseph brings the child to the Temple in
Jerusalem to fulfil the requirements of the Law of Moses, which mandated that
firstborn males be consecrated to God and that mothers undergo a period of
purification after giving birth. At the Temple, they are greeted by Simeon, who
recognizes him as the long-awaited Messiah, and Anna, a prophetess who gives
thanks to God for the arrival of the Savior.
In the liturgical celebration of this event, candles are lit
and blessed in a symbolic gesture of recognizing Jesus as the light of the
world. This feast is traditionally celebrated on February 2 and is an important
event in the liturgical calendar for many Christians, especially those of the
Eastern Orthodox and Catholic traditions.
The presentation at the altar serves as a reminder
of the fulfilment of God's promises and the arrival of the Savior and is
celebrated as a symbol of hope and renewal for all people.
