1 Corinthians 15:55 (NIV)
\"Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?\"
Christ descends to where I am and brings me up.
John Chrysostom, from Paschal Homily
\"Let those who have fasted
and those who have not fasted
rejoice today.
The table is fully laden; feast sumptuously.
Let no one grieve poverty,
for the universal Kingdom has been revealed.
Let no one fear death,
for the Savior's death has set us free.
Hell took a body, and discovered God.
It took earth, and encountered Heaven.
It took what it saw,
and was overcome by what it did not see.
Christ is Risen, and the demons are fallen.
Christ is Risen, and life is freed.
Christ is Risen,
and the tomb is emptied of its dead.\"
