CHRIST IS RISEN ! CHRISTOS ANESTI ! CHRISTOS VOSKRESYE ! HRISTOS A INVIAT ! CHRISTO A RECUSITADO ! IL MESSIAH 'AHM !
"O death, where is thy sting? O Hades, where is thy victory? Christ is risen, and thou art cast down. Christ is risen, and the demons are abased. Christ is risen, and the Angels rejoice. Christ is risen, and life is set at liberty. Christ is risen, and none is left dead in the tomb. Indeed, Christ, having risen from the dead, is become the firstfruits of them that have fallen asleep. To Him be glory and dominion unto the ages of ages. Amen."
-St. John Chrysostomos, Paschal Homily
Best wishes to all on the OD board on this Holy Pascha.

Yep. But nothing facy - just two fairly large hamburgers.
BTW, here's something I didn't know. Our Matuska said that the tradition is to keep the Pascha egg Father gave us for one year and then crack it open. If its still good, then the coming year will be good. If its rotten, then the year will be, well, not so good.
