Brothers and Sisters:
Christ is risen! Le Christ est réssuscité!
We would like to wish you all a blessed Bright Week, celebrating the third-day Resurrection of Christ our God!
As we continue to celebrate Great and Holy Pascha, we would like to remind you that we have scheduled a Vespers service in the usual place (Wycliffe College Chapel, 5 Hoskin Ave) on next Thursday (Apr 30), followed by talk from Fr. Nicholas to reflect on this most glorious of feasts. It is a special time for all of us as Orthodox Christians. And since it is our last such gathering of this academic year, we would love to see you there:
Orthodox Christians call Pascha, the Feast of Christ’s Resurrection, the Feast of Feasts. We celebrate the destruction of both the power of sin, and the power of death. Christ God entered into death so that it would no longer hold anyone captive, so that nothing at all should separate any of us from God. Death came into the world through sin, but Christ destroys its consequences and frees the human race to unite ourselves with Him. When Christ rose from the tomb, so did all the creation that had been living in darkness and shadow.
