“We remain shaken by the Tempe tragedy. A painful mirror of the many pains of us all, he accompanied our journey to Easter this year. Seal our conscience. O-led the thoughts of many to big questions,” emphasizes the Archbishop of Athens and All Hellas Jerome in his Paschal message to the clergy and the Christ-bearing crew. In addition, among other things, the Primate of the Greek Church notes that “human history, tragedy, natural evil, once unimaginable moral evil, the cruel destruction of our dreams at all levels, everything is possible, everything is called to participate in a transformative perspective.” Resurrection. In the face of corruption, the Grace of the Resurrection shines brightly. Hades “reigns, but does not perpetuate.” Anastas Theanthropus reveals the endless possibilities that human nature and all of us acquire through Grace.

My dear brethren, my dear children, in these days we hear an encouraging word: “Do not be afraid of death, let the Savior’s death set us free”!

We look forward, my brothers, to the resurrection of the dead. This logical hope, based on the historical event of the Resurrection of Christ, remains the highest and great source of meaning for man and the world. It is the Risen Christ who illuminates History with its climaxes, but also the darkness of the human adventures that accompany it. He illuminates and interprets painful and unanswered whys. Those that often overwhelm us and overwhelm us, like the cry of the saint of our letters: “May worldly passions and misfortunes never end.” We remain shaken by the Tempe tragedy. A powerful mirror of the many pains of all of us has accompanied our path to Easter this year. Seal our conscience. O-led the thoughts of many to great questions.

If Christ is not risen, our faith is in vain, asserts our spiritual tradition. It is worth remembering that Anastas does not arrogantly scorn the human condition. Resurrection is not a cosmic power fantasy. It was He, as a man, who asked God the Father to avoid martyrdom, Who was betrayed by one of His own, Who was ridiculed, Who was scourged, Who suffered much and bled, Who exclaimed: “My God, my God, why did you leave Me” who died on the Cross. We saw him during Holy Week “condemned and wounded”, defeated before the eyes of his disciples, brought to human understanding, completely humiliated.

This Crucified One we adore, in Him we believe. This loser, The very scandal and pestilence, is God. Our Church Tradition boldly proclaims: “God died, God’s blood … on the cross.” It dissolves the state of death, “for the ruler of life cannot be kept in corruption.” The man of God, he rises with humanity. Human history, tragedy, natural evil, once unimaginable moral evil, the brutal destruction of our dreams on all levels—everything is possible, everything is called to participate in the transformative perspective of the Resurrection. In the face of corruption, the Grace of the Resurrection shines brightly. Hades “reigns, but does not perpetuate.” Anastas Theomanthrope reveals the endless possibilities that human nature and all of us acquire through Grace.

He is the Savior, and he remains the one to whom they contradict • “they say the fall and the resurrection of many”. In the sport of love and freedom. “Behold, therefore we also walk with Him and are baptized… that we also may live together with Him.”

my brothers,

The Resurrection is an event of divine Love in its great splendor. The descent of Christ into hell, such a favorite image in our pictorial tradition, marks the Resurrection of the human race. On this called and holy day, let us listen to the message of the empty monument. Christ “is not here, he is not here.” Death is conquered, my brothers!

Christ is risen.
