To have the keys to something signified among the Jews to receive authority over something. Thus, "the keys of hell [or hades] and of death" signify authority over the death of the body and the soul.

- Archbishop Averky

☦️

Christ has authority over hell and death in that He Himself tasted of death in the body and descended to hell in His soul after death (1 Peter 3:19), but in His resurrection gained victory over both. The Divine services of the Orthodox Church are full of this teaching; for example, "O Lord our Savior, Who has taken hell captive and trampled on death..." (Octoechos, Tone 5, Sunday Vespers, "Lord I have cried").
