ΚΑΛΊ ΑΝΕΣΤΗ

The celebration of Christ's resurrection is being celebrated now in Cyprus. I could say that i have never felt Easter miracle and the power of God as I have experienced this time in Greek Orthodox church.
Actually I should be sleeping now, as we will go to church at about midnight as the Holy light will come, the resurrected Jesus will bring the light to the people. Service will probably last till 3am. Lord, give me strength!
In Orthodox church most of the activities take place early in the morning or late at night..
Like this morning, when there was resurrection service.. the church was packed at 7am. during the service people were banging the chairs and making real noise, to recall the earthquake the natural disturbances in air, as Jesus was raised from dead. No other church recalls the resurrection so lively and for real. The priest threw flowers in the air and the icon or resurrection was carried around. it happened, indeed happened! He did it!
