"O Death, where is your sting? O Hell, where is your victory? Christ is risen, and you are overthrown. Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen. Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice. Christ is risen, and life reigns. Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in the grave. For Christ, being risen from the dead, is become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. To Him be glory and dominion unto ages of ages. Amen."

- St. John Chrysostom

Protestant and Catholic Easter is like a 2-minute song from Foreigner. Pascha is like a 22-minute jaw-dropping Yes song.

I was raised in an evangelical Christian home where we 'packed a pew' on church cleaning night. My dad was a deacon, my mom taught Sunday School and I was not allowed to live in their house and miss a service. We went to every midnight watch-night and sunrise service at our church.
Since, 2014 I have said often, I never celebrated the Resurrection until becoming Orthodox. Everything in my past pales in comparison.

I can completely relate!

Indeed He is risen!

For the first time, we had a sunrise service, in order not to have to compete with the jazz music from next door. It was nice for a change. Nice to walk into church with the rising sun to worship the rising Son. :)

I must be too tired...not following. :)

Coexist? In relation to Indeed He is risen?
"Truly" He is risen, or "Indeed" He is risen, but none of this "Truly indeed" He is risen. ^_^

speaking of the wrong greeting, I remember once I responded with, "Alithos Viskrese!"
My sister in law sent me a video of my 3 year old nephew saying “Christ He is risen!” and “‘Deed he is risen!”. After prompting him with Christos Voskrese he says “foo sa wassa!” lol. He was told “Voistinu Voskrese” and he responds “oh that’s really hard to say!”
