Paschal Letter of the Permanent Conference of Ukrainian Orthodox Bishops Beyond the Borders of Ukraine
God-Loving Pastors, Honorable Monastics and all Faithful Children of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church Beyond the Borders of and in Ukraine:
Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen!
“And now go quickly, tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead and He is going ahead of you to Galilee, there you will see Him.” (Mt.28:7&10)
It is with these words of joy through the lips of an angel that God announces the Resurrection of His Only Begotten Son, our Savior Jesus Christ, to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, the women who had come to see His Tomb. The entire Orthodox world today celebrates the Feast of Feasts, the new Passover of Salvation, and thus joyfully glorifies the Source of Life – the One Risen from the Tomb, Christ our Lord.
