The problem of resurrection of the body was and has remained the cornerstone of the Christian faith and hope, but also a crossing point of different doctrinal attitudes that marked the entire history of Christianity. This paper tries to illuminate the phenomenon of the body from several angles, through perspective of the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead, providing some of the modern theological answers. References are also made to the Christian iconography of the East and the West, regarding the aesthetics of Christ's resurrected body, which with the sum of symbolic relations opens a completely new epistemological, theological and aesthetic field for understanding the resurrection as the most important secret of human existence.
