Judgement Tarot Card

The Judgement tarot card displays a heavenly being with wings (an angel, perhaps?) appearing out of gray storm clouds. It is blowing a golden horn adorned with a white flag with a red cross on it to summon unclothed people who are rising from their graves, many of which are in the sea. The dead souls are lifting their arms and turning their faces to sky in response to the horn’s call.
