Album Of The Day: Resurrection Letters: Prologue by Andrew Peterson

Prologue EP - On a square, dark green background that has gold edging and kinda looks like a fancy leather-bound book or hymnal cover, it says in the middle the album name, and at the top, the artist name. Above and below the album name is an illustration that seems to be just whiter color lines etched out of the dark green background. It depicts two crosses, one with a sign on the top and no one on the cross, while the other still has a person on it. A soldier seems to be on a ladder pulling the cross down, and at the foot of the cross a few people hold the body that came off the cross.

Released 8 years ago this past February, this is an EP released as a Lenten prelude to the larger Resurrection Letters, Vol. 1 album. It has four songs and an instrumental mourning the death of Jesus and honoring His works. This mimics the traditional Christian act of, before Easter Sunday, reflecting on the torture and death of Jesus in which He took upon Himself all our sins. Andrew Peterson writes beautiful songs recalling those moments and ruminating on them, and even in the quiet instrumental moment, it hints at what will happen just a few days later by including the melody of a song of praise from Vol. 1. The songs on this are somber and reflective and lead the listener to think deep on Christ's great sacrifice and faithfulness. We grieve and wait for the triumphant events of Easter, where Andrew Peterson will have more to sing.
