Happy Easter 🐣 Ekhrestos Anesti! Alisos Anesti! ✝️ Christ is Risen, and you, o death, are annihilated! Christ is Risen, and the evil ones are cast down! Christ is Risen, and the angels rejoice! Christ is Risen, and life is liberated! Christ is Risen, and the tomb is emptied of its dead; for Christ having risen from the dead, is become the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep. To Him be Glory and Power forever and ever. Amen! – St John Chrysostom #copticeaster #coptic #john #bible #sunday #eastersunday #joy #happy #peace #nodeath #marymagdalene #tomb #risen #jesus

Bright Saturday ⁣ ⁣ “Our Risen Christ, when we glorify you , we don’t give you glory; we just confess your glory. You are like the sun. It shines whether people confess its light or not. Their confession of its light does not increase its light; It is self-lit.” – H.H. Pope Shenouda III⁣ ⁣ #coptic #orthodox #brightsaturday #heisrisen #light #faith #hope #new

“He was led forth like a lamb; He was slaughtered like a sheep. He ransomed us from our servitude to the world, as He has ransomed Israel from the land of Egypt; He freed us from our slavery to the devil, as He had freed Israel from the hand of Pharaoh…. He is the One who covered death with shame and cast the devil into mourning, as Moses cast Pharaoh into mourning. He is the One Who smote sin and robbed iniquity of offspring, as Moses robbed the Egyptians of their offspring. He is the One Who brought us out of slavery into freedom, out of darkness into light, out of death into life, out of tyranny into an eternal kingdom, Who made us a new priesthood, a people chosen to be His own for ever. He is the Passover that is our salvation.” – Melito, Bishop of Sardis #goodfriday #pascha #holyfriday #fast #faith #orthodox #coptic #salvation #holyspirit #finished

“The Cross is the crown of victory. It has brought light to those blinded by ignorance. It has released those enslaved by sin. Indeed, it has redeemed the whole of mankind. Do not, then, be ashamed of the Cross of Christ; rather, glory in it. Although it is a stumbling-block to the Jews and folly to the Gentiles, the message of the Cross is our salvation. Of course it is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God. For it was not a mere man who died for us, but the Son of God, God made man.” -St. Cyril of Jerusalem #goodfriday #pascha #holyfriday #fast #faith #orthodox #coptic #salvation
