“Pascha of beauty, the Pascha of the Lord! A Pascha worthy of all honor has dawned for us. Pascha! Let us embrace each other joyously. O Pascha, ransom from affliction! For today as from a bridal chamber Christ has shown forth from the tomb and filled the women with joy saying: Proclaim the glad tidings to the apostles.” (Pascha Matins)
Though the death of Christ stunned His disciples, causing them to flee into hiding because they feared for their own lives, His death turned out to be the source of the greatest joy for us humans. Christ emerged from the tomb not as a zombie or the walking dead but as a glorious groom on His wedding day. The resurrected Christ though having a physical body no longer seems to have been limited by His body but rather moved in and out of the physical world. In the resurrected life, we are united to God, experiencing the divine life. We now can proclaim the joyous good news to all the world: Christ is risen!
