Patriarch Daniel\u2019s 2024 Easter Message: full text<\/h2>\n

The Resurrection of the crucified Lord Jesus Christ is the central truth of the Holy Gospel and the Orthodox Christian faith. That is why the icons of the Crucifixion and the Resurrection of Christ are printed on the outer covers of the Holy Gospel.<\/span><\/p>\n

From Pascha until the Ascension of the Lord, the church resounds with the Troparion of Holy Pascha and exchanges the Paschal salutation for forty days: Christ is risen! He\u00a0<\/span>is<\/span>\u00a0risen, indeed!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Resurrection of the Lord is the celebration of\u00a0<\/span>Christ’s<\/span>\u00a0humble and merciful love, the One who overcame hatred, violence and death, giving people eternal life. That is why Holy Pascha\u00a0<\/span>is the celebration of<\/span>\u00a0forgiveness, peace and joy.<\/span><\/p>\n

In these festal days, let us share with those around us, in word and deed, the love, peace and joy of Christ, especially\u00a0<\/span>to<\/span>\u00a0orphaned children, the sick and the elderly, as well as Romanians living among foreigners.<\/span><\/p>\n

May Holy Pascha bring the light and blessing of the Risen Christ to all of you, in your souls and your homes, with good health, happiness, and much help in life!<\/span><\/p>\n

Christ is risen!<\/span><\/p>\n

He is risen indeed!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2020 DANIEL<\/span>
\nPatriarch of the Romanian Orthodox Church<\/span><\/p>\n
