The dark prince meant the cross for evil but the light of love conquered his evil reign. Easter may be a date on a calender but the result of it is every day. Thanks for letting me share these days with you.
Lovely background to this. I like the starkness of the silver on black - very slick and elegant. I'd really like to see the background on its own, though I realise that wouldn't work for the message you're trying to convey with this particular posting.
Aside from that, I would like to see the cross done differently, but I'm not sure quite how. Certainly plainer and probably without the writing - let the symbol stand on its own. I think it would create more impact that way myself.
It might also be nice to reduce the opacity of the cross a little so that it does not seem so separate from the background. Right now, this strikes me as two images combined by a simple cut-and-paste with little attention given to integrating them.
I hope you will not take these suggestions amiss. They are meant in the best possible way. I think, anyway. Moreover, the image is still good as it stands. Admirably clear and crisp and the simplicity of the colour scheme goes some way to mitigating what I perceive as the overly complex cross (or cross within a cross?).
I think it is a matter of taste, too. I just tend to prefer simpler in cases like this, but others prefer more ornate decorations.

Powerful image, Frank, beautifully executed. The 'Art Nouveau'-type swirls look just like hand-blown glass. High marks in the VB from me and I'm glad I saw it there, otherwise I'd have missed this very unique and special gift from you as a reminder of the Easter message. Excellent.
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.
