Christ is Risen!

Христосъ воскресе!  Χριστὸς ἀνέστη!  Hristos a înviat!  al-Masīḥ qām! 

Indeed He is Risen!

O Death, where is your sting? O Hell, where is your victory?

Christ is risen, and you are overthrown.
Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen.
Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice.
Christ is risen, and life reigns.
(St. John Chrysostom 4th c.)

The Divine Liturgy of Pascha was live-streamed from our church this Sunday. Following the guidelines the Liturgy was celebrated by the clergy only and live-streamed. This didn't mean that we couldn't express the joy of Pascha at the church property. At 11:00 and again at noon, members of our parish community brought their Easter baskets to be blessed in the parking lot by His Grace, Bishop Daniel. Though everyone kept their separation and stayed near their cars, all were united in the joy of Pascha 

Here are photos of some happy people (taken with the help of a camera with a zoom lens).
