Pascha is not just a yearly feast, not just an unchanging event of the yearly cycle. With every year we are nearer to death, nearer to the decision of our eternal lot. And if our union with God does not become closer from year to year, our faith stronger, and our attachment to the world weaker, it means we are not preparing well for this step.

Holy Fire has descended in Church of Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem
After the Fire’s descent, the Patriarch passed the holy gift to the faithful who lit from it their bundles of 33 candles, per the age of Christ at the time of His Crucifixion and Resurrection.

Holy Saturday
John 19:37-42
And again another scripture saith, They shall look on him whom they pierced. 38. ¶And after this Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. 39. And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. 40. Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury. 41. Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. 42. There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews’ preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.

It is clear from the above videos that our brothers and sisters in Christ are heavily persecuted worldwide by some very evil people. They are trying to turn us into outlaws and criminals. Pray for them, the church and all of us.
Christ remains King of Kings whether they like it or not..

Let God arise and let His enemies be scattered, and let them that hate Him flee from before His face.
As smoke vanisheth, so let them vanish, as wax melteth before the fire.
So let the sinners perish at the presence of God, and let the righteous be glad.

Christ is risen. Truly He is (edited 😉)
Happy Holy Pascha Everyone.
Matthew 28:5-6
And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
