Many times
during the Easter Sunday Liturgy, the happy refrains of "Khrytos Voskres” are
sung by the congregation. It is sometimes difficult for church visitors to
understand why this tune, and its variations, is repeated so frequently during
the Easter season. We should remind our visitors that in the Resurrection of
Jesus, we are all resurrected from the bonds of death. Our joyful Easter tune,
"Sohlasmo Zaspivaimo” perhaps says
it best when it proclaims "With His death He conquered death, and to
those in their graves He granted Life!” Voistynu Voskres - Indeed He Is Risen |
