Understand the meaning and meaning of the main Orthodox holiday important for every believer. To help in this, we have selected the words of the Church Fathers, elders, spiritual writers and preachers Orthodox Church about Christ's Resurrection.

Saint Gregory the Theologian
Easter! She is our holiday celebration and celebration of celebrations; surpasses all celebrations, not only human and earthly, but even those of Christ and for Christ performed, as much as the sun surpasses the stars.
2
Archimandrite John (Krestyankin)
Christ is Life! He spoke many times about Himself precisely as the bearer of life and resurrection, as the source of eternal life, endless for those who would believe in Him. Christ is risen! and may our soul rejoice in the Lord. Christ is risen! - and the fear of death disappears. Christ is risen! - and our hearts are filled with joyful faith that we will rise again after Him.
3
Saint John Chrysostom
Death! where is your pity?! Hell! where is your victory?! Christ is risen, and you are cast out! Christ is risen, and the demons have fallen! Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice! Christ is risen, and life triumphs! Christ is risen, and no one is dead in the tomb! For Christ, having risen from the tomb, is the firstborn of the dead. To Him be glory and power forever and ever! Amen".
4
That is why the feast of the Resurrection of Christ fills our hearts with such great joy, because Christ, by His resurrection, confirms that there will be a general resurrection, for He was the first of the resurrected. The firstborn is Christ, then those of Christ at His coming. This is our faith. This also explains our bright joy on the great day of the Resurrection of Christ.

Metropolitan Sourozhsky Anthony(bloom)
The Resurrection of Christ is the victory of love; it tells us that love, which accepts death, thereby becomes immortal, becomes stronger than death.
6
Archpriest Alexander Schmemann
Christ is risen, and we will celebrate His resurrection on Easter night. But for us, living in this world, it has come with Christ and, as it were, continues through our whole life Holy Saturday. It continues for the dead.
We are waiting for the Resurrection of the dead and the life of the age to come. We know and believe that by the death of Christ the “sting of death” is destroyed, and death has ceased to be a hopeless end, disintegration and separation forever.
From the risen Christ, from His life that shone from the tomb, we are all the time “filled with His infinite life, enjoying His inexhaustible food.

Archimandrite John Krestyankin
Easter, which opens the doors of paradise to us, ”we sing in the Easter canon. There is no joy, my dears, brighter than our Paschal joy. For we rejoice that in the Resurrection our eternal life has been revealed.
Our Paschal joy is the joy of the transformation (change) of our whole life into an incorruptible life, in our striving for undying goodness, for incorruptible beauty.
8
Archpriest George Florovsky
Easter is a day of universal joy and peace. The whole world triumphs and rejoices, every breath and the whole creation. For the Lord conquered and destroyed death, abolished the "power of death" - the power of death. And with the Resurrection of Christ, the dawn of the coming universal Resurrection, its own tea, “and the life of the future age” has already taken up and lit up over all creation ...
Paschal joy is boundless, all sorrow and doubt dissolves in it. Forgetting insults and sorrows: "and those who hate us will forgive all the resurrection." Not a cloud of sadness and dark memories should obscure the luminous sky of the luminous Easter night.
Christ is risen!
9
Patriarch Kirill
Every minute of the life of a true Christian should be filled with Paschal joy. I am the resurrection and the life, said the Lord, whoever believes in me, even if he dies, he will live.
The Resurrection of Christ gave us true freedom and filled human existence with meaning and hope. Most importantly, it opened the way to Eternal Life for everyone who believes in Christ and abides in the Church.
Therefore, there is no reason for despair, despondency, fear among those who love Christ and follow Him in all the circumstances of their earthly path, for Christ has risen from the dead, the firstborn of the dead.
10
Saint Luke (Voino-Yasenetsky)
Saint Mary Magdalene was the most zealous preacher of the gospel of Christ. Her heart burned with such immeasurable courage in this great deed that she was not afraid on the day of Easter to appear before the very emperor of the Roman Tiberius; she offered him a red testicle and greeted him: “Christ is risen!” She preached to the emperor about Christ, and her preaching was so powerful that he believed in Christ.
You cannot shine with sermons, but you can all preach about Christ with your life and at least with your weak words. Imitate all the holy myrrh-bearing women.
11
Saint Luke Voyno-Yasenetsky
What would we then believe if Christ had not risen? How could one believe in eternal truth, in God's absolute justice? If Christ had not been resurrected, then all the preaching of the apostles about Christ would have no power. Our faith in Him would be vain, hopeless, for "if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not risen."
If you do not believe in the resurrection of the dead, then God could not resurrect Christ, therefore those who died in Christ would perish.
Happy Easter! Happiness to your home!
Paschal joy is the joy of the transformation (change) of our whole life into an imperishable life, in our striving for undying goodness, for imperishable beauty.
Christ is risen! and may our soul rejoice in the Lord.
Christ is risen! - and the fear of death disappears.
Christ is risen! - and our hearts are filled joyful faith that after Him we will be resurrected.
Celebrating Easter means knowing with all your heart the power and majesty of the Resurrection of Christ.
Celebrating Easter means becoming a new person.
Celebrating Easter means thanking and glorifying God with all your heart and mind for His inexpressible gift - the gift of resurrection and love.
Christ is Risen!
What wonderful words! How they change everything around us and in ourselves! In these words there is a victorious message, and a call to joy, and a greeting of love, and a wish for peace.
Archimandrite John (Krestyankin)
When the enemy annoys, wants to annoy, anger, steal the peace of the heart with trifles, annoyances, just say: “Christ is Risen. Christ is Risen. Christ is Risen". He fears these words the most, they burn him like fire, and he will run away from you.
Valaam Elder Michael (Pitkevich)
Easter is a special day. It's the feast of the feast and the triumph of the feasts. And the only mood that is present, that prevails in the souls of believers, is joy. Moreover, whatever the external circumstances of life, joy always comes on this day.
Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' Kirill
Easter is a holiday that should not be passing. It shouldn't end. The saints said that Easter should always be in the heart. And this is possible, because there are examples of saints who met every person in this way: “My joy! Christ is Risen!" And we need to learn in order to meet a person not frowningly, not with some kind of pretension, but exactly like this: “My joy.” When we make others happy, God makes us happy too. This is an immutable law. If we do something good, then the Lord, as He says, will reward a hundredfold.
Priest Valery Zakharov
Today we are celebrating holidays, a celebration of celebrations, the Resurrection of Christ - the victory of life, the victory of love, the victory God's faith in man, the victory of hope over despair. We celebrate in thousands across the face of the whole earth and rejoice that the Lord has truly risen.
Metropolitan Anthony of Surozh
“Easter, opening the doors of paradise to us,” we sing in the Easter canon. There is no joy, my dears, brighter than our Paschal joy. For we rejoice that in the Resurrection our eternal life has been revealed. Our Paschal joy is the joy of the transformation (change) of our whole life into an incorruptible life, in our striving for undying goodness, for incorruptible beauty.
Archim. John (Krestyankin)
Christ is the incomparable and greatest Doctor in the history of mankind, for He gave people a cure for the disease of all diseases, that is, from sin, from which all other diseases and all other human sufferings, both spiritual and bodily, are born. This medicine is He Himself, the risen and living Lord.
St. Nicholas Serbian
Pray that the Lord will put holy love in you and let everyone love you, especially those whom you do not love or offend, and those who offend or do not love you.
Holy martyr. Seraphim (Zvezdinsky)
Saint Mary Magdalene was the most zealous preacher of the gospel of Christ. Her heart burned with such immeasurable courage in this great deed that she was not afraid on the day of Easter to appear before the very emperor of the Roman Tiberius; she offered him a red testicle and greeted him: “Christ is risen!” She preached to the emperor about Christ, and her preaching was so powerful that he believed in Christ. You cannot shine with sermons, but you can all preach about Christ with your life and at least with your weak words. Imitate all the holy myrrh-bearing women.
St. Luke (Voino-Yasenetsky)
The purpose of the incarnation of the Son of God was to proclaim the Divine truth to the world, to direct people on the path of repentance and salvation. To grant people deliverance from eternal death.
Archim. John (Krestyankin)
Like a bright rainbow above the flood of hatred and suffering, the Resurrection of Christ shines upon humanity. There has never been and never will be a more majestic and beautiful event on earth. Easter joy embraces the whole universe, all times, all generations of people. The faith of those who believe, the hope of those who hope, the truth of the righteous, the love of those who love all this combined in one exultant exclamation: CHRIST IS RISEN!
Archbishop of Novosibirsk and Berdsk Tikhon
Christ is risen, my joy, ”said Reverend Seraphim to every person, righteous, sinner, believer, unbeliever, good, evil, friend, enemy. “Resurrection day, and let us shine with triumph, and embrace each other. Say: Brothers! and we will forgive those who hate us all by the resurrection,” the Church sings in these brightest days. This is where Christ's key to the mystery of human relations, to the mystery of brotherly love, peace, forgiveness.
Prot. George Benigsen
Every day is Easter for me!
Such joy lives in me, I just want to jump and jump
on one leg like a boy, and I'm already old - they'll say crazy! If only you knew how sweet it is to live with God!
Schiegumen Jerome (Verendyakin)
Many people think that Easter is all about painting eggs and baking Easter cakes.
Many Christians understand the true meaning of Easter, but non-believers do the opposite. I believe that we, as Christians, should not be afraid to speak about the true meaning of this day. The people of this world should know that Easter is Jesus Christ who died for us on the cross, that Easter is the blood that was shed for every living person on earth, that Easter is the wounds of Christ that heal, that Easter is the resurrection of Christ, which tells us that Jesus is alive, He is risen, gave us salvation and eternal life.
1 Corinthians 5:7 Cleanse therefore
old sourdough to be
you with a new test, since you
unleavened, for our Easter,
Christ slain for us.

After all, Christ is truly Risen!
Christ is risen and hell is conquered by him.
Christ is risen and the world is redeemed by Him.
Christ is risen and the angels rejoice.
Christ is risen and the people are celebrating.
Christ is risen and heaven is open to us.
Christ is risen and the power of hell has fallen.
Christ is risen and the sting of death is erased.
Christ is risen and saved the world from torment.
For this Christ both died, and rose again, and came to life, in order to have dominion both over the dead and over the living. Romans 14:9
He is risen and death is crushed
Powerfully lies put to shame,
The goal for all life is naked,
And love caresses the heart with its eyes.
He is risen, and wonderful love
In the sky shines with inspiration,
He rose again and showed everyone again
That He alone is the Ruler of the universe.
He is Risen, and He is the King of all kings,
That is why faith rejoices so much.
Sunday is the heart of life
The souls cry: "Hallelujah"!
Many teachers have become great, only One has risen.
Vladimir Ladyzhensky
Christ is risen! In the rays of love
Covenant of blessed Heaven
—
Christ is risen!
The good news is written in Blood.
Death has no power over Him! And we who believe in Him should not be afraid! Sin and death are overcome by the death and resurrection of Christ!
You will never be too dead for God to raise you from the dead.
Christ is risen! I believe, do you?
Knowing that Christ died is history.
To believe that He died for me is salvation.
30 Therefore, leaving the times of ignorance, God now commands people everywhere to repent,
31 for he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness, by means of a man whom he has ordained, giving proof to all by raising him from the dead.
Acts 17
I'm not suggesting adding Christ to your life... I'm suggesting trading your life for Christ! ‘ Matt 10:39 John MacArthur
God's love is measured by the price He paid for me.
My love for God is measured by the price I pay...
I am risen so that you turn
And I could love others like I do.
I glorify my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Crucified for my sins, Risen and Coming again!!!
14 Then it was the Friday before the Passover, and the sixth hour. And [Pilate] said to the Jews: Behold, your King!
15 But they cried out, Take, take, crucify him! Pilate says to them: Shall I crucify your king? The chief priests answered: We have no king but Caesar.
16 Then at last he handed him over to them to be crucified. And they took Jesus and led him away.
17 And bearing his cross, he went out to a place called the Skull, in Hebrew Golgotha;
18 There they crucified Him, and two others with Him, on either side, and Jesus in the middle.
19 And Pilate also wrote the inscription, and placed it on the cross. It was written: Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.
(John 19:14-19)
‘For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life’

14 He said to them, You have brought this man to me as a corrupter of the people; and behold, I examined in your presence, and found this man not guilty of anything of which you accuse him;
(Luke 23:13-14)

And voluntary torment
Christ crucified for us

Corruption of souls and emptiness,
What gnaws the mind and whines in the heart, -
Who will heal them, who will cover them?..
You, the pure robe of Christ...
F.I. Tyutchev

“The angel, turning his speech to the women, said: “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus crucified; He is not here - He is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay, and go quickly, tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead!” (Matthew 28:5-7)
JESUS DIED AND RISEN FOR YOU,
DON'T GO TO HELL -
REPENT YOUR SINS AND LIVE FOR HIM!
Easter should be celebrated in church, not drunk in nature!
In the realm of the dead roll call:
Socrates, are you here?
- Here! sounds the answer.
"Caesar, are you here?"
- Here!
"Napoleon, are you here?"
- Here!
— Jesus of Nazareth, are you here?

The only one, He has risen to give us hope and life.

“I do not want to leave you, brothers, in ignorance of the dead, so that you do not grieve like others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, then God will bring those who die in Jesus with Him.”
(1 Thess. 4:13-14)
John 15:13 There is no greater love than that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Jesus died on the cross for us and rose from the dead on EASTER SUNDAY to offer everyone a priceless and free gift eternal life and forgiveness of sins. This is the real MEANING of Easter - SALVATION FOR YOU! God loves you and all you have to do is accept the gift He has for you - LIFE!
People nailed to the cross endure terrible pain, as if their whole body is on fire. Their blood is baked, and the heart seems to be pierced by thousands of needles. The whole body seems to be torn apart. But the sufferings of the Lord were different, more terrible - invisible sufferings. That hellish fire that was prepared forever for all mankind for its sins, those terrible sufferings the Lord had to endure on the Cross. Hell itself broke into the pure soul of the Savior, and this terrible fire tormented Him. The sinner experiences abandonment by God. And this God-forsakenness, which is now completely incomprehensible to us, which sinners experience in hell, is the complete loss of God, it is worse than all other torments. And Christ tested it. So He exclaimed: My God! My God! Why did you leave me?.. (Mark 15:34)
"Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world."
(John 1:29)
23 But they continued with a great cry to demand that he be crucified; and overcame their cry and the chief priests.
24 And Pilate determined to be at their request,
(Luke 23:23-24)
My God is the God of the afflicted,
God, stained with blood, God is a Man and a Brother with a heavenly soul,
And before suffering and pure love
I bow with my fervent supplication

But God proves His love for us by the fact that Christ died for us while we were still sinners.
(Rom.5:8)
17 For the dogs surrounded me, the crowd of the wicked surrounded me, they pierced my hands and my feet.
18 All my bones could be counted; and they look and make a spectacle out of me;
19 They divide my garments among themselves, and they cast lots for my clothes.
Ps.21
Death couldn't handle it
and the grave could not hold him!
CHRIST IS RISEN!!!
The Pharisees could not bear Him and were unable to stop Him.
Pilate couldn't find any fault in Him, Herod couldn't kill Him.
Pesach! - say the Jews, - the trouble has passed by.
Christ is risen! we say, salvation to the Gentiles!
Luke 24:39 Look at my hands and at my feet; it is I myself; touch me and see; for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as you see with Me.
He, being the image of God, humbled Himself, being obedient even unto death, and the death of the cross. Therefore, God highly exalted Him and gave Him the name above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven, on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
(Phil.2:6-11)
Baking Easter cakes is a pagan ritual that has nothing to do with Christ.
Easter cake is cooked with yeast, but there was no leaven in the body of Christ, because in His
there was no sin in life.
Jews demand miracles
Greeks seek wisdom;
and we preach Christ crucified
1 Corinthians 1:22-23
God raised the Lord
He will resurrect us with His power.
1 Corinthians 6:14
Christ is risen! Christ is risen!
May these joyful sounds
Like the singing of angels from heaven
They will dispel anger, sorrow, torment!
Join all brotherly hands
Christ is risen! Again with the dawn
The shadow of the long night thins,
Again lit up above the ground
For a new life, a new day.
Thickets of boron are still blackening;
Still in the shade of his damp,
Like mirrors, lakes stand
And breathe the freshness of the night;
Still in the blue valleys
Fogs are floating ... But look:
Already burning on mountain ice floes
Rays of fiery dawn!
They are still shining in the sky.
Unattainable like a dream
Where the voices of the earth are silent
And immaculate beauty.
But, getting closer every hour
Because of the crimson peaks,
They will sparkle, flaring up,
And into the darkness of the forests, and into the depths of the valleys;
They will ascend in the beauty of the desired
And they will announce from the heights of heaven,
That the promised day has come
That God is truly risen!
I. A. Bunin 1896
The covenant of blessed heaven
Sounds to us the song of Sunday,
Love, and happiness, and forgiveness,
Sunday for us is:
foundation for our faith (1 Cor. 15:14);
hope for life (1 Peter 1:3);
the hope that we will be resurrected (1 Corinthians 15:20-23);
proclamation God's power working in us (Eph 1:19,20);
justification (Rom. 4:25);
salvation (Rom 10:9, 1 Pet 3:21);
victory over death and hell (1 Cor 15:55-57).
"Thus it was fitting for Christ to suffer and enter into His glory"
(Luke 24:26)
And it is recognized by all: great is the mystery of piety:
He who was manifest in the flesh,
justified in the Spirit,
seen by angels
was preached to the nations,
received by faith in the world,
was lifted up in glory.
1 Tim. 3:16,17 - translation of ep. Cassian.
That day no one will forget
the greatest day in history.
The fate of the world was decided at that moment.
Life won on Sunday on the Cross!
Easter is a holiday!
Everywhere signs of joy.
Happiness shines in the eyes.
The sun is shining in the sky.
The singing is heard loudly.
The sun's light and the laughter of a child.
And in my heart
Light hymns are ringing.
And from end to end
Happiness we know.
Easter! Easter! Heaven's guest!
Everyone shouts: "Christ is risen!"
God is love: Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day, according to the Scriptures. So God commands us to repent.
It is logical to conclude that the manipulations done with Easter cakes and eggs are done in order to please God. But what does God himself think of them?
“...Death is swallowed up by victory. Death! Where is your pity?
Hell! Where is your victory?… Thanks be to God,
who gave us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!” (1 Cor. 15:54-57).
Death stood at the foot of the cross,
I looked at the crucifix, I waited.
Here the Son of God touched with a sting,
Received into the arms of Jesus.
What a sacrifice! There was no such thing.
Death triumphed: “And You are with me!
I'll hide you under the tombstone
And I will deafen you with grave silence.
How sweet was the taste of victory for death!
In the valleys of darkness, among the dead - God!
End. Everything is said and everything is done.
Where are the miracles of Jesus? Where is Love?
Two days have passed. And death was calm
Worked beyond my strength like never before
And sting the worthy, the unworthy,
Didn't take a visit - forever.
Jesus was dead. The grave was strong.
And the bonds of death - do not break.
Death knew: there is no such force in the world,
To raise the dead from the grave.
And in the realm of the dead it echoed,
That God is dead. How terrible is the oppression of death!
But death was wrong. The morning came
The morning that will turn the whole world upside down.
Death worked that night until dawn,
She sat down to rest, tired of her work.
But what is it? Why so much light?
Who dares to move a stone from the grave?
Death choked with indignation -
No one has yet opened the graves:
"Not true! No! This does not happen…”
She whispered, her hands lowered without strength.
Happens. Is it true! Death hunched her shoulders
Seeing how he came out of captivity
Lord Jesus. He walked towards death.
Death understood: the Son of God - won.
And stepped aside like a miserable shadow...
Jesus has resurrected! And death, no, is not strong!
Life rejoiced! Sunday morning!
What joy the Lord has given!
And the sun came up. And the birds sang.
And delicate flowers bloomed ...
And again the hearts of the disciples burned. —
We remember this and you.
That morning came to our hearts one day.
"Christ is risen!" - today on the lips.
"Truly risen!" everyone will answer
Who accepted the Lord Christ in their hearts.
“What are you happy about? people ask. —
Jesus is crucified. How can you rejoice? —
We know. But then a miracle happened:
Christ is risen! And this is a blessing.
Oh, let God rise for you today,
And then the joy of Easter will come to you.
Easter solemn songs
And your heart will sing with us!
Lyubov Vasenina
When there seems to be no escape
And the treacherous demon takes over
Say to yourself in consolation:
"Christ is risen!"
Don't say it's all gone
And there are no miracles
The Lord took the sting out of death:
Christ is risen!
When the storm rages around
And the ray of hope is gone
Don't you dare sit with your head down -
Christ is risen!
Illuminates the whole soul with light,
And my heart goes to heaven
When an angel announces to us:
"Christ is risen!"
Which bestows grace.
I am glad that by faith on Sunday,
The coming holy feast.
And celebrate not once a year, but often,
His holy resurrection.
April 2011 Margarita Kolomiytseva
Archpriest Dimitry Smirnov said that the roots of the tradition of visiting the graves of loved ones on Easter is not a Christian custom and go back to pre-revolutionary Russia, when the vast majority of our ancestors lived in villages and went to nearby villages on Easter, where, unlike villages, there was certainly a temple. In order not to return off-road and then, already in good weather, not to go back to the cemetery to clean up the graves, ordinary people after the service went to the resting places of their loved ones (people were then buried mainly at churches) and broke the fast at the cemetery brought with them Easter cake.
The victory of love
Nobody knew that day
That this day decides everything.
That the whole earth is in this crucifixion
Salvation will find its own.
Nobody. Only I knew the continuation
I knew what would happen in an hour...
I knew my purpose.
I have looked at you through the ages.
I have become your door to salvation,
When I was thirty three
I saw your generation
And I heard a quiet: "I'm sorry."
I have become water and light for you,
But I knew that the cross was prepared
That day I knew that I would be betrayed
I knew there was no other way.
I knew the time was up
That I'm all alone
That death hung over the city,
That this hour is unbearable...
I heard screams: "He's a traitor!
Kill him! Let Him die!”
They did not know that the Creator
They are being punished.
And I was silent. A bit more…
Here is my first nail...
Such a pain! How much blood...
It's done! Finally, it came true!
Dry lips. I'm chained.
I can't breathe. I am above the ground.
Sentenced. Beaten. spat on
A fierce crowd.
I saw you in that crowd
You were among them, shouting: "Crucify!"
And I prayed to the Father: "Forgive them!"
I was the messenger of love.
I knew you'd weigh your years
Which you lived in vain
So you don't know where you are? what you?
What did you hate? What did you love?
Your roads were steep
Success, fall, vanity...
But it would take a minute
To invite me into your heart.
The day they crucified me
I've already seen your ending
Your sins tormented you
For them you expected death ...
I saw tears, shame, embarrassment,
I saw bitterness and guilt
I saw your end and decay
And I realized I love you!
Love you! May you not understand
Maybe he didn't want to understand
Why am I all earthly grief
I hasten to take with me to the cross.
Love you. And only this
Was the cause of that day.
Love you! Let it be unrequited.
But I decided to save you.
Love for you gave me
The determination not to back down
Endure! And rip out the sting of death!
So that you don't die!
I knew that there is victory in love.
The crowd was noisy, screaming everywhere,
And I loved, forgave, and this ...
Led the devil into a dead end.
That day I died. And it happened -
That day I went to hell for you,
And the sky opened up for people
For sin was crucified with me.
Since then, earth and sky have been close,
But there is an abyss, a step long,
That step is so simple - you just need to step,
To be with me in heaven.
Step of repentance - and you are accepted!
If you believed in me,
God's grace is extended to you!
I am your excuse!
I heard lies in your ears
Skillfully Satan has invested,
He is in a rage to destroy
All that I have revealed to you.
I saw all your struggles
I saw your inside
I saw pride and doubt...
But still ... I love you!
I'm waiting for you. Go without fear.
You are dear to me. After all, so many years
I walked towards you through piles of dust,
To bring you my light.
On that day I foresaw this day.
Then I thought about one thing
Let me die, but you live,
For reconciliation with the Creator.
I forgive you everything now
Believe me, I love you so!
What the enemy stole, I return
I give you a new chance.
I don't remember your mistakes
Start with a clean slate
What was before is washed away by the blood,
Live without sin from now on!
Live and remember: I am with you.
I'm alive! I was resurrected on the third day!
Breathe on with my love,
And give the past to the cross.
Live! Live! And my holiness
Soak in yourself and be like me!
And let your life be in joy
For everyone around and for you.
Live! We need each other so much!
Now we belong to each other!
Live! I extend my hand
Take the shove of love!
I was born for you to be born
I was crucified so you could live
I am risen so that you turn
And I could love others like I do.
Go. How many tears I see.
Go and show them the way!
Godless, proud generations
Tell me about my sacrifice!
Natalya Shevchenko
Let us delve into the meaning of the mystery of the cross... The whole world, that is, the human race, would have been given over to eternal death, eternal torment – according to the unchanging, strictest truth of God, if the Son of God had not become voluntary, through infinite goodness, the Mediator and Redeemer of the criminal, defiled and corrupted by the sin of mankind. Christ was not guilty of any sin, but was the only perfect Man in hypostatic union with the Divine.
(John of Kronstadt)
The world is accustomed to bloody atrocities,
But that hasn't happened yet...
"Rejoice, King of the Jews!" —
The crowd howled wildly.
Crimson burns with fresh blood,
Evil boils like lava Vesuvius.
Do not read the compassion on the faces -
The people are mad, they are mad...
It is not enough to betray the body on a crucifix.
It is necessary to stain the humility with mud ...
The blood will fall on the descendants of the curse,
And not everyone will get enlightenment ...
Life burned in the lanes of centuries,
Waiting for holy judgment
But he came and framed under the whip
His purity King of the Jews.
Died unable to be holy
Generations under the rule of law
But I came to die crucified
Ruler of the heavenly throne.
God endured both spitting and beatings,
A shameful death, heavy torment ...
On the cross He shone with love,
Stretching out pierced hands...
In the hustle and bustle of life
This world is cursing for cruelty,
Remember the way that the King of the Jews
Passed for you and me...
The place of execution is now a crossroads
Human destinies and tracks.
The door is open. Logging in is easy...
But we can't do it for us...

It is impossible for a man to lead a pure life when he does not believe in the resurrection.
John Chrysostom
Easter is not in the spring mood for me,
Not in a magnificent celebration, not in Easter cakes.
Easter is for me - in bright broken bread,
In deep sorrow for their sins.
Easter is not for me in snow-blooming willow,
Not in the ringing of golden bells.
Easter for me is that I am saved by faith -
The Destroyer passed on seeing the Blood.
I have the joy of Easter - in the work of Redemption,
Which bestows grace.
I rejoice in the fact that by faith on Sunday
I can die on the cross
To live forever and firmly believe in Easter -
The coming holy feast
And celebrate not once a year, but often
His holy resurrection.
On Easter day, joyfully playing,
The lark flew high
And in the blue sky, disappearing,
He sang the song of resurrection.
And that song was loudly repeated
And the steppe, and the hill, and the dark forest.
"Wake up, earth," they said,
Wake up: Your King, your God is risen!
Wake up, mountains, valleys, rivers,
Praise the Lord from Heaven.
He conquered death forever -
Wake up and you, green forest.
Snowdrop, silver lily of the valley,
Violet - bloom again
And send up a fragrant hymn
To the one whose commandment is love.
Princess E. Gorchakova

Thank you, the Risen One!
The night has passed and a new dawn
Let the world be renewed
In the hearts of people love grief.
Praise the Lord from Heaven
And sing incessantly:
The world is filled with His miracles
And glory unspeakable.
Praise the Host of the Incorporeal Forces
And angelic faces:
From the darkness of mournful graves
The light shone great.
Praise the Lord from Heaven
Hills, cliffs, mountains!
Hosanna! The fear of death is gone
Our eyes light up.
Praise God, the sea is far
And the ocean is endless!
Let all sorrow be silenced
And hopeless murmur!
Praise the Lord from Heaven
And praise, people!
Risen Christ!
Christ is risen!
And trampled death forever!
V. Bazhanov
Christ is Risen! Brother people!
each other in a warm embrace
Hurry up to accept!
Forget quarrels, insults,
Yes, bright holiday of Sunday
Nothing will darken.
Christ is Risen! Hell trembles
And the sun of eternal truth shines
Over the renewed earth:
And the whole universe is warm
A ray of divine light.
Tastes joy and peace.
Christ is Risen! Holy day!
Thunder in all ends of the universe
Praise be to the Creator!
Gone are the sorrows and sorrows,
The shackles of sin fell from them,
The soul recoiled from evil.
V. Ladyzhensky
Christ is risen! The starlings sing
And, waking up, the steppes rejoice.
In the snow, murmuring, streams run
And with a ringing laugh they quickly tear
In winter, shackled chains.
Still thoughtful dark forest,
Not believing the happiness of awakening.
Wake up! Sing the Sunday song
Christ is risen!
Christ is risen! In the rays of love
Sorrow gloomy cold will disappear,
Let joy reign in the hearts
Both those who are old and those who are young!
Covenant of blessed Heaven
Sounds to us the song of Sunday,
Love, and happiness, and forgiveness -
Christ is risen!
Christ is risen! He is the King of the worlds
Mighty kings Lord,
He is all humility, all love,
For a sinful world holy blood
Shed like an angel - redeemer!
Christ is risen! He gave people
Testament of holy forgiveness,
He gave mercy to the fallen
And for holy convictions
He ordered to suffer as he himself suffered!
Christ is risen! He announced
That on earth all people are brothers,
He renewed the world with love,
He forgave his enemies on the cross,
And he opened his arms to us!
Christ is risen! Christ is risen!
May these joyful sounds
Like the singing of angels from heaven
They will dispel anger, sorrow, torment!
Join all brotherly hands
Let's hug everyone! Christ is risen!
Pavel Potekhin
Christ is risen! - just two words
But how much grace is in them!
We are unearthly bliss again
Illuminated in your hearts.
Sorrow and suffering are forgotten
Forgotten grief and need
Silent groans and murmurs,
Envy and enmity are gone...
Pavel Potekhin
All faces shine with joy
Hearts free from passions...
So miraculous effect
Holy words on people!..
Christ is risen!..
Oh sacred moment!
O miracle, above all miracles,
What were in the universe! ..
Christ is risen!
Christ is risen!
Holy holiday
Protopresbyter Vasily Bazhanov
How easy is my soul!
The heart is full of tenderness!
All worries and doubts
Fly away!
The world fills my soul
Joy shines in the eyes
And as if in heaven
The sun is shining brighter...
People are brothers! Has come
Great day, day of salvation!
Bright holiday Sunday
God of truth, God of strength!…
Away from us enmity and malice!
Let's forget everything! We'll forgive everyone!
Let's honor reconciliation
Day of the Risen from the grave!
He did not rage, did not take revenge, -
But with fatherly love
By His all-honored blood
He washed the unworthy of us ...
He is risen! - the time will come
Sundays for us...
We do not know this time...
Why don't we throw off the burden of sins?
Why don't we think about
With what in the moment of rebirth
From nothingness and decay,
Will we stand before Christ?...
He is risen! abode of paradise
Reopened to the public...
But there is one way to get there:
Life is sinless, holy!
