Easter is here, Jesus rose...& so i wish all my family & friends a very happy & blessed Easter...a quick hymn & a story is how we shall celebrate my 30th easter!
we sing a beautiful hymn...which i love love to sing (and i am not a singer but it is the one time i sing)
"Christ is Risen, Trampling down death by death. And upon those in the tombs bestowing life." (& then we sing it in arabic, and greek which i love as well...)
a little humor for this easter...
after easter in church we say "Christ is Risen, Truly He is Risen"...we do it during church & then on occasion you throw it out there when encountering your Orthodox friends...so my old priest was EXTREMELY fond of this phrase (nothing wrong with it)....in fact he had a passion for saying "Christ is Risen"...so post easter, a friend of mine was driving down the road...and our priest pulls up next to her...she looks over sees it is him, he recognizes her, they exchange words, & she goes on her way...all of sudden as she is driving down the road...she sees the priest in her rear view mirror coming up, & he is mouthing something to her...she can't figure out what it is & she becomes concerned something is wrong with her car...at the next stop light, he pulls up to her again, and she looks over at him, & he is screaming, "CHRIST is RISEN!"
true story, can't make that up...to the passion of Christ that moves us all in different ways!
