“Death was terrified, seeing a dead man, who did not resemble the other dead at all, who had descended into Hades and was not bound with the chains with which those who were there were bound. “Why did you, gatekeepers of Hades, tremble with fear at the sight of him?” (Cf. Job 38:17). What unusual fear is this that has seized you? Death fled and in its flight was ashamed of its cowardice. The Holy Prophets ran to the Lord…”
(Saint
Cyril of Jerusalem)
