CHRIST IS RISEN!

Sts. Alopen and Mitrophan Cathedral, Missionary Diocese of East and Southeast Asia

BLESSED PASCHA IN THE ANCIENT CHURCH OF THE WEST! 

Let no one fear death, 

for the death of the Savior has set us free!

Let no one mourn their sins, 

for forgiveness has dawned from the tomb!

Let no one despair, 

for the Kingdom is open to all.

Whether you came at the first hour or the eleventh, 

whether you fasted or forgot, 

whether you were faithful or far off— 

rejoice today, for Christ welcomes all with love!

The grave took a body and met God face to face. 

It seized earth and was shattered by Heaven. 

Hell took Him and was vanquished. 

Christ is risen, and you are lifted up!

Christ is risen, and the tomb is empty!

Christ is risen, and the angels sing!

To Him be glory and dominion unto ages of ages. Amen.
