Christ is Risen !

[Anhelyna]

He is Risen indeed !

A Blessed Pascha to you all

 

[ArmyMatt]

indeed He is risen!

 

[prodromos]

He is risen indeed!

I was going to start the thread myself, since us Aussies are among the first to celebrate the resurrection (beaten only by @Ignatius the Kiwi), but we had no reception at the monastery and by the time we got home from breaking the fast with our parish, it was after 5am and I needed to sleep. It is now midday and I've just gotten out of bed.

 

[IoanC]

Truly, He is Risen!

[ArseniusTheSilent]

[Anhelyna]

For us Orthodox Christians it is Pascha - the day of the Resurrection of Our Lord and Saviour .

This is the traditional Pascha Greeting for us

 

[ArmyMatt]

Luke 20:34-36

sorry, I don’t follow. could you clarify this? thanks!

 

[ArmyMatt]

What's happening here

it’s our Pascha (Easter) greeting. we use the older means to calculate when we celebrate the Resurrection.

The verses read:

Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, and they can no longer die; for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection.

It is the ramification of the resurrection in the believers life, through it we are children of God and like angels...

It calls to mind Galatians 2:19-21 because we are crucified too, and are raised to live for God..

The point is that it's not just about Jesus, it's symbolic of our own life too.

 

[E.C.]

Christ is Risen!
Христосъ воскресе!
Χριστὸς ἀνέστη!
المسبح قام!
ქრისტე აღსდგა!
המשיח קם!
Christus ist auferstanden!
¡Cristo ha resucitado!
Hristos a înviat!
Xris-tusaq Ung-uixtuq!
Kristo Azukkide!
ハリストス復活!
Christus resurrexit!

 

[Chesterton]

Indeed He is risen!

but what does that have to do with our Paschal greeting?

I am suggesting the importance of focusing on our own participation in the resurrection rather than merely partaking in custom.

It is important to always keep in mind the purpose rather than just enjoying socially.

 

[rusmeister]

Indeed, He is risen!

(Are you an indeeder who asks to forgive us our trespasses, or a trulier who asks to forgive us our debts?)

we do, hence the greeting. and I don’t think anyone on here thinks of merely the custom apart from the participation in the Resurrection.

It is my intention to make sure.

I don't find much value in becoming robotic.
