What is the proper greeting and response for Ascension? When do we return to "Glory to Jesus Christ..."?

Dear Brethren, Something has been bothering me for a while.... All of you post Ukrainian and/or Slavic greetings, (some of you post Latin phrases) and do not translate them. That is very difficult for the rest of us. If you would kindly translate them, we might understand their meaning, and perhaps, even start using them ourselves.  When I write something in Greek, I usually try to remember to explain/translate it for everyone. Could you all please do the same?  Also, now that I have your ear 'KO63AP', would you kindly explain exactly what the Greek phrase (I know Greek, but somehow can't decipher this exactly) you put on the bottom of your posts means.... Thank you all. With love in Christ, Alice

Dear Alice, The reason we do that is because, for the most part, we Ukrainians are an ignorant people!  Kobzar wrote "Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory forever!" as the proper greeting. A "Kobzar" was a kind of wandering minstrel in the Kozak days. He went among the people and sang songs/ballads of bygone days that recalled the historical struggles of the people, their suffering and spiritual teaching. He played on that large guitar known as a "bandura." The Ukrainian national poet Taras Shevchenko was very much like that and wrote about those topics which is why his published collection of poetry is called "The Kobzar." Alex

If I don't know the exact greeting, I usually take the intriot and use it as a basis. For example: Glory be to Him who ascended to heaven!
In Christ,
Andrew

For several years I have used the greeting: "Christ has ascended". Response: "To the right hand of the Father; glory to Him!"

The greeting the Byzantine priest near me uses is "Christ is ascended!" with the response "From earth to heaven!"

In the Latin Rite, it's "have a nice Sunday."

With love in Christ,
Alice Dear Forum Members (and especially Alice), Please forgive me for my Slavophilia (or, as some would say, rabid Ukrainian nationalism!). I will try to be more considerate when I post anything in other than English. As for the Greek/Latin phrase ... I will award a prize to anyone who can give me an accurate translation into English AND identify where it comes from. I can't say yet what the prize will be - I'll see what catches my eye while in Kyiv this weekend. The deadline for submissions will be Saturday, 5 June. For those with whom I have discussed this privately - I regret to inform you that, obviously, you will not be permitted to enter the competition.

KO63AP - Hrm. "We do not worry that nobody esteems us?" That's not quite it, but it's the best I could come up with.
As to the source, I don't know and neither did Google. :oP

Recte habes, Alicia! Opportet istos traducere verba slavica pro nobis, quia non possumus intellegere.  Numquam reus sum illae culpae. Omnibus pax vita et salus perpetua, LatinTrad
