Christ is Risen and Death is Overthrown!

An angel cried to the Lady full of grace, "Rejoice! Rejoice, O pure Virgin! Again I say rejoice! Your Son has risen from his three days in the tomb! With himself he has raised all the dead!" Rejoice! Rejoice, all ye people! Shine! Shine, O New Jerusalem! The glory of the Lord has shone on you! Exult now! Exult and be glad, O Zion! Be radiant, O pure Theotokos in the resurrection, the resurrection of your Son!
