We greet you warmly in the joy of the Resurrection! Thank you to all who with great care and reverence visited the church to pray privately and light candles. And all the more, thank you to all who, celebrating in the ‘little church’ of our homes, have joined our private prayer lives together in celebration – amidst a difficult year in the life of our world, we have been given a great gift: a life-giving participation in Our Lord’s Pascha. Χριστός aνέστη! Hristos a înviat! Хрїстóсъ воскрéсе! !المسيح قام ქრისტე აღსდგა! ハリストス復活！
