The joy and celebration of the resurrection of our Lord is evident in the faces of those present at Pasca. Father Gordon Walker, priest emeritus of Saint Ignatius Antiochian Orthodox church, proclaims, "Christ is risen!", as he symbolically carries the light of the world into the midst of the people. The people respond,"He is risen indeed!" This electrifying moment in the life of the Church follows 40 plus days of fasting and lamenting our sins. This celebration starts at midnight and is followed by a feast where food and libations abound.We all go home about 4 AM, sleep as long as we want, then return for another feast about 4 pm. Its great to be a Christian! Who said Christians don't have any fun?
