About this episode

Father Martins reflects on the significance of Jesus' descent to hell and the victory achieved through the crucifixion.

Almost two billion Christians recite the Apostles Creed which states "He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. And one more thing... he descended to hell. In this powerful reflection Father Martins reminds us how brilliant and all encompassing Jesus' victory on the cross was. Hell despite it's best efforts became a pawn in God's scheme and now that which is meant for evil, God uses for good.
