Ever blessing the Lord, we praise His Resurrection, for by enduring the Cross for us, He has destroyed death by death!

Christ is risen! Truly, He is risen! Better, as it is now, each to simply celebrate in peace and sing well "It is the Resurrection day. Let us be enlightened by this feast, and let us embrace one another. Let us call brethren even those who hate us, and in the Resurrection, forgive everything and let us sing: Christ is risen from the dead, by death He trampled death, and to those in the tombs, He granted life."

there have been many fun thread in the past about' real 'Pascha , the 'true' Calendar etc etc - and all have always been read as fun posts.
I do not think anyone has ever taken offense - I could of course be wrong - but I don't think I am .

HE IS RISEN INDEED! Although the message gets to some of us a little slower than others.  Glad to hear that others' week will now Brighten Up!  May the Risen Lord be merciful to all his children.

Christ is risen! Truly, He is risen! Thanks for informing us that the Real EASTER is now being celebrated. I wonder how it would have gone over on this forum if some insensitive, possibly augmentative individual had decided to be so dismissive of other fellow Christians that he would have started a thread a week ago entitled "Happy Real Pascha"? Better, as it is now, each to simply celebrate in peace and sing well "It is the Resurrection day. Let us be enlightened by this feast, and let us embrace one another. Let us call brethren even those who hate us, and in the Resurrection, forgive everything and let us sing: Christ is risen from the dead, by death He trampled death, and to those in the tombs, He granted life." Dear ajk, Please lighten up! There was a at the beginning of my post! Fr David

I most heartily and warmly second Father David's motion. If we may not be light-hearted on this Day of Days, then when may we be light-hearted? Those who feel themselves unable to rejoice with us in this Feast of Feasts could at least have the common courtesy to allow us to rejoice without throwing verbal brickbats at us.
CHRIST IS RISEN!

Quasimodo is the first word of the Introit for Low Sunday... Just as Laetare Sunday in Lent and Gaudete Sunday in Advent.
Thus the first words that the congregation would have heard from the schola or the priest were the words "Quasimodo geniti infantes..." - "As newborn babes..."
In former times of the Augustine-era catechumenate, this Second Sunday of Easter (formerly more popularly "Low Sunday," now "Divine Mercy Sunday") was the day that the newly baptized - the newborn babes - laid aside their white baptismal garments.

Personally, next year, I plan to celebrate both dates - to paraphrase our brother and master of pysanky, Medved, 'so many M&Ms, so little time ..."  Many years (and many Easters) to all, Neil
"One day all our ethnic traits ... will have disappeared. Time itself is seeing to this. And so we can not think of our communities as ethnic parishes, ... unless we wish to assure the death of our community."

I did a Latin Good Friday and Easter Sunday last week, and a Ukrainian Catholic Great Friday and Easter Sunday this week. Great Friday allowed me the opportunity to get into 5 Orthodox Churches in the Chicago area for a photo shoot.

Fr David I understand that the comment was meant in jest, but a number of people were offended. So I edited the title of the thread. Something tells me that if someone had come on and asked why some Orthodox and Greek Catholics were celebrating the "real" pagan festival of the goddess Ostern today (the original meaning of the term "Easter") some would be offended. Please remember to go the extra mile to be charitable, even when having fun. Christ is Risen!

It was brought to my attention last evening that paganism is not dead in Germany, and that the neo-pagans are specifically celebrating "Easter" with that name in honor of the Teutonic goddess.
I honestly didn't know this until last evening - but this is all the more reason to avoid the use of that word!

Resurrectio Domini, spes nostraDear Father David, I thought your post was rather funny, myself. That's why I jokingly wished everyone a very happy Quasimodo Sunday [ newadvent.org] in return

I honestly didn't know this until last evening - but this is all the more reason to avoid the use of that word! But they're not really pagan, though. They're "anti-Christian and needed something that they could claim was older"--but I suppose that that's another topic. hawk

Well, the Nazis were seriously pushing neo-paganism. It is at least possible that these new devotees of the Teutonic goddess in question are children who never learned to question their parents!
