Paschal Epistle
of His Eminence
Hilarion,
Metropolitan of Eastern America & New York,
First Hierarch of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad
Christ is risen!
The feast of feasts and triumph of triumphs has arrived for us, brother archpastors, right honorable fathers, brethren and sisters beloved in the Lord! Let us all greet the resurrection of Christ and not hide our feelings: “Let us be divinely glad, for Christ hath risen as One omnipotent.”
O wondrous and blessed night! O night so full of joy for every Christian! The risen Christ “changed the lamentation of the myrrh-bearing women into joy” on this night. And He does the same for us! This night of splendor proclaims to us His arising. And now this “prophetic night” renews us to the depths of our soul. And it gives us the certain hope that our departed ones, and we ourselves, will arise on the last day of the world to “celebrate the eternal Pascha in the never-waning day of the kingdom of Christ.” (more…)
