THE FEAST OF FEASTS: THE RESURRECTION OF OUR LORD GOD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST
This is the day of resurrection! Let us be illumined by the Feast! Let us embrace each other!
Let us call ‘brothers’ even those that hate us, and forgive all by the resurrection!
{Taken from The Paschal Stikhiri}
I greet all of you with these words that are sung during the Paschal Matins call each of us to come together with Joy and with Love in proclaiming Our Lord’s Resurrection. For when we began our journey, we embraced one another seeking that love and forgiveness and now that love and forgiveness becomes anew, it becomes revealed through Our Lord’s Love for all of us through His Life, Death, and Ultimate Resurrection.
As we celebrate this Joyous Feast of Feasts, we greet one another with the joyous words of victory that not only embody the essence of our Paschal celebration, but embody the very essence of our faith and hope in the love of Our Lord.
I pray that all of you, your families, and our entire parish family will forever be filled with this Paschal Joy! Let us always come together as one choir with one voice, with one mind, with one heart as one Body in Christ, one Body with Christ, one Body through Christ so that we may forever announce the joyous news of the Resurrection and the power of our Lord's great and Holy Pascha.
As we celebrate this Joyous Feast of Holy Pascha – The Resurrection of Our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, may all of us together, as a parish family, continue to rejoice and proclaim the Joyous Message of Our Lord’s Resurrection and give all Glory to The God Who loves us more than we love ourselves.
We look forward to having you join us as celebrate The Glorious Feast of Feasts and Celebration of Holy Pascha - The Resurrection of Our Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ!
Let us come together and walk with Our Lord on the final days of His Earthly Life to Bethany, To Jerusalem, and to His Life-Giving Cross, His Life-Bearing Tomb
and His Glorious and Awesome Resurrection on The Third Day!
