CHRIST IS RISEN! - 05/05/13
Late Saturday evening, and “while it was still dark” on Sunday at midnight, our community gathered for the “Feast of Feast, and Holy Day of Holy Days”.
Later the same afternoon we gathered for the Agape Vespers, in which we read the Gospel in English, Latin, German, Chinese, Italian, Russian, French, and Spanish!
Christ is Risen! Христос Воскресе!
Χριστός Ανέστη! المسيح قام!
Ode 1 - Canon of Holy Pascha
It is the day of Resurrection, let us be illumined O ye people, Pascha, the Pascha of the Lord, from death unto Life and from earth unto Heaven has Christ our God led us singing the song of Victory! Let us purify our senses, and we shall behold Christ, radiant with the light ineffable of the Resurrection, and shall hear Him say in accents clear, rejoice as we sing the song of victory.
