Χριστός ἀνέστη! Ἀληθῶς ανέστη!

Хрїстóсъ воскрéсе! Воистину воскресе!

I'm Presbyterian, but have attended Orthodox Holy Week services for decades. Bridegroom service on Tuesday, Passion gospels Thursdays, Lamentations on Friday; Paschal liturgy Sunday morning. I got 9 or 10 hours in!

 

Aleithos anesti, Joe!

Yeah, I find it a very emotionally moving and tiring week. But also satisfying. And I love the immediacy of it - "TODAY He Who hung the Earth upon the waters is hung on a tree...." My wife and I used to take the whole week off so we could hit all the services.

Well, Old English.

 

Lifted them from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paschal_greeting

 

I'll joke with people, "I even know it in Georgian!" by which they assume the Georgia by Russia. So I hit 'em with "Christ done got up!" "He shore 'nuff did!" Hey! God gave us a sense of humor to use.
