Beginning on Easter morning, people greet each other - at church, on the street or even on the telephone - with "HRISTOS A INVIAT!" ("Christ arose!") and respond with "ADEVARAT C-A INVIAT!" ("It's true that He arose" or, as we say in English, "He is risen indeed!") On Easter and the days immediately following, even newscasts open with that greeting. That will probably continue for another week or so. Oh, that more people here would truly understand what Christ's resurrection could mean for their lives!
The teens and the children all had parts in the "2nd Day of Easter" service Monday morning. I wish I knew how to edit and post video - little kids with microphones are always good for a little entertainment :)
Easter Sunday I invited the staff from the English school here in town over for dinner. I have a hard time finding good ham here, so we had a good turkey instead (makes up for the ultra pathetic turkey I had at Thanksgiving!). More importantly, we had a great time just hanging out together and celebrating Christ's resurrection.
