“The Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.” Armia Elkatcha captures the moment when the prophet, saved from the deep, comes out of the mouth of the great fish, arms open towards the light of God.
References: Jonah 1-4 (especially 1:17-2:10); Matthew 12:39-41; Luke 11:29-32.
For Christians, Jonah is the figure of Christ who died and rose on the third day. The Coptic Church keeps his memory alive through the fast of Nineveh, two weeks before Great Lent.
