I hear this at about 2:00 AM in church on Pascha. This year on May 1. Thanks for posting it. It is particularly moving after a full lenten fast. God bless.

Christ is Risen.

St. John Chrysostom doesn't translate well.

[BellStar]

TFFKAMM posted it I only responded. So much to learn out of the Eastern tradition. I was raised in the Anglican tradition unfortionantly it was the Episcopal Church USA.
I find myself drawn to the ORTHADOX tradition because it never felt the need to be politically correct. Thanks be to God!

"St. John Chrysostom doesn't translate well."

Actually he translates very, very well. This just isn't a very good translation. The Greek is beautiful and expresses Orthodox Christianity in a most profound and yet at the same time understandable to the modern Western mind, way.

[BellStar]

I saw your Icon "The Ladder of Divine Ascent"! Everyone needs to see it with your explanation captioning it..

[Beauceron]

Now THAT is old school!

Happy Easter.

You mean this one?:

"Here is the Icon of The Ladder of Divine Ascent which demonstrates the Orthodox view of "Theosis", what the West calls "Salvation". As you can see, it is an upward progress, but the icon shows that we can fall off the ladder through the efforts of the Evil One, which, by the way, is what the original Greek in the Lord's Prayer says, "but deliver us from the Evil One". The name of the icon refers to the book by St. John of the Ladder (Climacus) who wrote for his monks on how to attain theosis, becoming like God, about the year 600. St. John was the abbot of St. Katherine's Monastery at Sinai.

Do you know of a link to the original Greek text of St. John's sermon? My son is studying Greek and is very interested in the original Greek.

Blessings!

[Kolokotronis]

I've just spent the better part of an hour trying to find the text in Greek on line but no luck, even with a search in Google in Greek. Tell your son to find a Greek Orthodox friend who has the Holy Week liturgy book (like a missal. The Greek text of the sermon is on page 481. Sorry. Good luck

Thinking to self:
D'oh, "this_ol_patriot" has gone and given me BOTH the Eastern Catholic Easter salutation AND it's appropriate response!

What to do now ?!?! (Grrrr ... stupid "this_ol_patriot"!)

Scanning personal massive couple of hundred words or so Ukrainian vocabulary for acceptable alternate response.

"Yakshi Mayesh?"

[MarMema]

It's a Paschal sermon. Just FYI.
