From The Anthroposophical Society in America:

“This year's Easter Festival virtual offerings follow on the celebration of the artist Raphael that we began during the Holy Night of Christmas, and are inspired by Rudolf Steiner's Last Address as well as the exhibit Raphael:Sublime Poetry at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art, the largest-ever exhibition of Raphael's works in the US to date. On Good Friday, April 3, 2026, Andrew Wolpert will lead us through a contemplation of Death on Good Friday and what rose on Sunday. We will remember what Adam lost in the "Fall," how that was restored, and how the Second Adam offers us the way to the new potential of our unfinished human evolution.

We will focus on four Raphael images, including: 

The Crucifixion

The Sposalizio

The Disputa

The School of Athens
