Christos Anesti! Christ is Risen! Cristo ha resucitado! Cristo voskrese! Cristo voskres!
A glorious day! A life-giving day! A day of joy and unceasing praise!
My family and I are simply overflowing with joy today. How glorious to finally be home in the Church, celebrating Christ’s great and holy Pascha with all our brothers and sisters, hierarchs, martyrs and confessors, and patriarchs from all ages! Here are a few updates for Pascha… I’m reposting a link to some Paschal music and a few excellent readings.
Christ is risen and Hades is overthrown! I rejoice with all of you on this Holiest of all Days that are Holy! Glory be to the Risen Christ Who is our Lord, both now and to the ages of ages, Amen! Amen! Amen!
