April 20, the Orthodox Orzh celebrate Easter

Dear brothers and sisters! Christ is Risen! I sincerely congratulate you on the holiday – the Lord's Easter.

The Resurrection of Christ testifies that for God nothing is impossible. He became a man, was crucified on the cross, and He rose from the grave for our salvation, so that death would no longer have any power over people, so that everyone could inherit eternal life. All that is required from us is a sincere desire to be with God, strong faith, and a firm intention to act according to the Lord's commandments.

In these holy days, let us respond to Christ's love, share the Easter joy with our neighbors and distant ones, and take care of those who are waiting for our support, participation, and encouraging words.

I prayerfully wish you all strong health and peace of soul, God's help in good deeds, and unceasing Easter joy, for the Lord has truly promised to be with us until the end of the age (Easter canon).

Truly, Christ is Risen!
