Every Orthodox blog in the world right now is posting their Paschal blog post.
“Christ is risen, and not one of the dead remains in the grave.” — Paschal homily of St. John Chrysostom
Not one of the dead remains in the grave. What a proclamation! What universality! On this day, we have hope unbounded by a dusty dogmatism: “You sober and you heedless, honour the day! / Rejoice today, both you that have fasted / And you that have disregarded the fast.” Save your moribund objections for a more mundane day, for on this day, death is despoiled, and all creation is invited to the feast, for Christ is truly risen!

Indeed he is risen! Evidently we were blogging at the same time! I logged on to say “Christ is risen” to you and did not yet see any Paschal blog post, so I posted below under “A Kiss and a Vow”. Blessed Pascha to you. 🙂

Dear sisters in Christ, Indeed, he is risen! Thank you for your thoughts. I should be home in a few days, if the Lord wills.
