PASCHA

Glorious is our Paschal Festival and truly splendid this great assembly of the Christian people. And within this holy mystery are contained things both old and new. The celebration of this week, or rather its joyfulness, is shared by such a multitude, that not alone does man rejoice on earth, but even the powers of heaven are united with us in joyful celebration of Christ’s Resurrection. For now the angels, and the hosts of the archangels, also keep holiday this day. And stand waiting for the triumphant return from this earth of Christ Our Lord, Who is King of heaven. And the multitude of the blessed likewise rejoice, proclaiming the Christ Who was begotten before the daystar rose (Ps. 109:3). The earth rejoices, now washed by divine blood. The sea rejoices, honored as it was by His feet upon its waters. And ever more let each soul rejoice, who is born again of water and the Holy Spirit; and at last set free from the ancient curse!

With such great joy does Christ fill our hearts this day by His Resurrection, not alone because He gives us the gladness of this day, but because He has also given us salvation through His Passion, immortality through His Death, healing for our wounds and resurrection from our fall!                                                         

St. Proclus of Constantinople “On the Holy Pasch”

CHRIST IS RISEN!

INDEED HE IS RISEN!

CHRSITOS VOSKRESE!

VOISTINU VOSKRESE!
