Happy Easter!
Christ is risen! Truly He is Risen!
Christus ist auferstanden! Er ist wahrhaftig auferstanden!
Cristo Resucitado! En Verdad Resucitado!
Crist aras! Soðlice he aras!
Crist is arisen! Arisen he sothe!
Christos Anesti! Alithos Anesti!
Χριστος Ανεστι! Αλιθος Ανεστι!
Christus Surrexit! Vere Surrexit!
Christos Voskrese! Voistinu Voskrese!
I drove home from church singing the Paschal Anthem (Christ is risen from the dead/trampling down death by death/and upon those in the tombs/bestowing life), my heart overjoyed to celebrate the Feasts of Feasts, the Resurrection of Our Lord. I finished my post-Lenten dinner (rib-eye rubbed with Montana steak seasoning and garlic olive oil; corn on the cob with butter, salt & pepper; hot potato with butter, salt, pepper & green onions; and an excellent Belgian-style ale from New York), and my stomach is overjoyed to be filled with meat once again. I consider the magnitude of what Christ won for us, and my mind is overjoyed to know that death is conquered once and for all.
I’m trying not to think about the fact that I need to read the Epistle at the 0800 service this morning…
