But what about Jesus's 'Harrying of Hell'? Does that lack scriptural backing?

If it does then I'm not aware of it!

I suspected as much. Seems like an early legend.

There's a hint of it in the Apostles' Creed:

I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried:
He descended into hell;
The third day he rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,

But not nearly enough, I warrant.

The Russian Orthodox just has
Христос воскресе из мертвых, смертию смерть поправ и сущим во гробех живот даровав
'He went into the grave'

[Sol Invictus]

I attend a house church, so I don't follow anything like that. I've heard of it, being baptised a Catholic, I think that's more a thing for established churches.
