Holy Week

I came across a wonderful quote from St. John Chrysostom today, and I thought I'd share it with everyone as we begin Holy Week:

Where is thy sting, O death?
Where is thy victory, O hell?
Christ hath risen, and thou art overthrown.
Christ hath risen, and the demons have fallen.
Christ hath risen, and the angels rejoice.
Christ hath risen, and life reigneth.
Christ hath risen, and not one dead resteth in the grave.
For Christ having risen from the dead became the first fruits of them that slept.
To Him be glory and majesty to ages of ages. Amen.

Alleluia!
