Christ is Risen! Pascha - 2026

April 12, 2026

Christ is Risen! A few photos of our beautiful and holy evening together.

"Thou didst descend, O Christ, to the depths of the Earth. Thou didst break the everlasting bars which had held death’s captives, and like Jonah from the belly of the whale on the third day, Thou didst rise from the grave.

Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs, bestowing life!"

Paschal Canon Ode 6

Jonah was caught but not held fast in the belly of the whale. He was a sign of Thee who hast suffered and accepted burial. Coming forth from the beast as from a bridal chamber, he called out to the guard: “By observing vanities and lies you have forsaken your own mercy.”
