Noli me tangere.

FRANCIABIGIO. Noli me tangere. 1520-25.
Detached fresco. Museo del Cenacolo di San Salvi, Florence

Note the title of today's painting: Noli me tangere. Christ is speaking to Mary here, as recorded in the gospel of John. "Do not touch me, for I've not yet ascended to my Father." There is much mystery and anticipation in this statement, but it concludes a dramatic scene that St. John is keen to show us regarding the nature of Christ. It is the same idea that St. Paul will later pick up and expound, regarding Jesus as the Second Adam.
