Xristos anesti!

In our Serbian Orthodox Pascha morning liturgy, we said “Christ is Risen!” in Slavonic, Serbian, Greek, and English. We sang the Paschal Troparion in that most-beautiful, heartwarming Serbian tone. And at the Paschal lunch, the lamb seemed never to stop coming. There was enough for firsts, seconds, and to take some home! Of course, we had those red-dyed eggs, and the egg-cracking game. No Tang, though. There were lots of exchanges of “Hristos voskrese!Voistinu voskrese!”, complete with triple-kisses. And we had live Serbian folk music, too.

It was a wonderful day.

Greek Orthodox morning liturgy does the same thing, Honorary Serb, its called the Agapi=Love liturgy and the bible is read in different languages. I believe all Orthodox Christians have a similar liturgy on Pascha morning. :)
