We greet you warmly on this awesome and life-creating feast of Our Lord’s Pascha, His Resurrection. Thank you to all who journeyed through Lent, labored in spirit, confessed their sins, and as a community worked to make this celebration so beautiful and joyful for our community.
Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!
“Why is it that on a Feast Day the whole of nature mysteriously smiles? Why is it that then a heavenly gladness fills our hearts; a gladness far beyond that of earth and the very air in church and in the altar becomes luminous? It is the breath of Thy gracious love. It is the reflection of the glory of Mount Tabor. Then do heaven and earth sing Thy praise: Alleluia!”
–the Ninth Kontakion, from the Service of Thanksgiving “Glory to God for All Things”
