The Gates of Brass
The dark of Hades, its gates barred, a light that its warders fear, the gates fallen crosswise, and the dead led out. Scroll to watch it.
He led them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bonds asunder
Psalm 107:14, as St Augustine gives it
Because He brake the gates of brass, and snapped the bars of iron
Psalm 107:16, as St Augustine gives it
For when this was crucified, then were the dead raised up, then was that prison burst, and the gates of brass were broken, and the dead were loosed, and the keepers of hell-gate all cowered in fear.
John Chrysostom, Homilies on First Corinthians XXIV
