"On March 30, 1925 at the age of 64, Rudolf Steiner died in the same room as the noble figure of Christ, the Representative of Man, carved by his own hand, soaring high above him. (Albert Steffen, Goetheanum, 1925.) The thrid of April was the funeral day of Rudolf Steiner. Albert Steffen, then the second President of the Anthroposophical Society, reflected, 'As we realized afterwards, this day is held to be the day of Christ's death.' As the poet Steffen declared in the memorial address, "May his immortal spirit be resurrected in our deeds." Rudolf Steiner was laid to rest on the property of the Goetheanum in Dornach with a simple stone slab headstone inscribed with, "EDN ICM PSSR" which represents 'Ex deo nascimur - In Christo morimur - Per spiritum sanctum reviviscimus' translating as, 'From God we are born - In Christ we die - Through the Holy Spirit we are revived.'"
