Details

- There are spring colours. Only the grave is grey.

- The angel is this snowman. Silly ? Maybe not that much … Its colour is the purest of all we know around us (snow). Its face is made with eight stones (two for the eyes, six for the mouth). The eighth day being the resurrection one.

- In its snow « hands » it's holding lightnings. Logically that's impossible. If it manages, it's because everything is possible for God, including resurrecting his Son.

-If we look at its hands, they are two blocks of snow that open into three fingers. Certain representations also have extremities which widen out or open like on this picture. The symbol is also the one of life, of resurrection, a bit like if the cross was coming into bud.

- There are two bubbles coming from the sky. The left one could be any saint. The right one is God who's answering him. We understood that if that angel looks odd, it's to attract attention.

- Three question marks in the three fundamental colours (yellow, blue and red) pop out of the rabbit who's watching this « angel ». He's asking himself fundamental questions.

Questions

- What if I was witnessing such a thing ? What would I do ? To whom would I tell about it ? Why ?
