He is Risen!

He is Risen!

Easter Vigil. All is silent, but full of hope.
The last Adam grasps the hand of the first Adam,
And yanks him out of his grave.
The Mother of God wipes away Eve’s tears.
All around the mortal rock of the tomb,
the garden of Eden blossoms.
 
(Bartholomaios I, Ecumenical Patriarch)
