Happy Easter!

May 5, 2013

To all our Orthodox brothers and sisters around the world, we convey our heartfelt wishes for the celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord through an ancient hymn.
 

On 5th March the Orthodox Church celebrated the Blessed Easter. To all our Orthodox brothers and sisters around the world, we convey our heartfelt wishes for the celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord through a stanza from the ancient Troparion:

Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and to those in the tombs, granting life.

Italian:

Cristo è risorto dai morti, con la sua morte ha vinto la morte, e a quelli nelle tombe ha donato la vita!

Greco:

Χριστός ανέστη εκ νεκρών, θανάτω θάνατον πατήσας, και τοις εν τοις μνήμασι ζωήν χαρισάμενος.

Christós anésti ek nekrón, thanáto thánaton patísas, kié tis en tis mnímasi zoín harisámenos.

Russiano:

Христос Воскресе из мертвых, смертию смерть поправ и сущим во гробех живот даровав

Romeno:

Hristos a înviat din morţi, cu moartea pre moarte călcând, Şi celor din morminte viaţă dăruindu-le!

Arabo:

المسيح قام من بين الاموات و وطيء الموت بالموت و وهب الحياة للذين في القبور
