The death and Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ stand at the very heart of the Christian faith. Out of His love for humanity, Christ freely accepted suffering and death on the Cross, offering Himself for the salvation of the world. By rising from the dead, He conquered death and opened the way to eternal life for all.
The articles in this section follow the events of Christ’s Passion, Crucifixion, burial, and glorious Resurrection, including His appearances to the disciples and His Ascension into heaven. They invite us to reflect more deeply on the meaning of Christ’s sacrifice, the fulfillment of the Scriptures, and the hope we share through His victory over death.
As the Orthodox Church joyfully proclaims at Pascha, “Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death!” May these readings help you grow in understanding of God’s saving love and in the hope and joy of the Resurrection.
