the most important and mysterious moment of the service begins. by the power and action of the influx of the holy spirit.

lord, most holy patriarchs, orthodox, most blessed archbishops and metropolitans, eminent metropolitans, archbishops and bishops, grant them to your holy churches in the world as whole honest, healthy, long-living, rightful rulers of your word truth. first of all, lord remember the great one. our lord and father kirill, his holiness patriarch of moscow and all russia. grant him to your holy church, safe, honest, healthy, long-lived, and rightful

in your true words. together with metropolitan gregory of the resurrection , the whole church, all those praying and those present, are praying for the health of his holiness the patriarch. sing him, thy most honorable and magnificent name, the father and the son and the holy spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. amen. peace to all, and may they be in the mercy of the great god our savior, jesus christ, with you all.

all saints, having remembered packs and packs, peace.

lord, grant us, o master , the courage to dare without condemnation to call upon you the heavenly god of the father, and to say, our father, who art in heaven, be holy,

and ever and ever and ever, ami, holy, cry to the saints, holy, to the saints, reminds that every christian is called to holiness, not without reason a saint. the apostle paul in his epistles calls the first followers of the savior saints.

moreover, this exclamation reminds us that the shrine, the body and blood of christ, are given to those who have cleansed their souls by repentance in the sacrament of confession. hallelujah. the lord alone is holy, he is the only source of holiness, and can make one a partaker.

all elements of orthodox worship, including the decoration of the temple, the exclamations of the clergy and the singing of the choir, are subordinated to a single, one main goal, to set the believer in a prayerful mood, to help his mind and heart unite with the lord.

orthodox worship, as in the school of prayer, theology and godly thought, the holy righteous john of granstatt, who served as a pastor

in the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries, wrote wonderfully. temple worship is the personification, the realization of all christianity. here, in words, in faces and in actions, the entire economy of our salvation, all sacred and church history, all grace and wisdom are proclaimed. celebrations, which, according to the word of st. gregory the theologian, so much surpasses all celebrations, not only human and earthly,

the day's holiday of holidays and triumph and but even those of christ, and for christ, are performed as much as the sun surpasses the stars. with great joy i turn to you the ancient and the eternally new, familiar to everyone and at the same time unchanged. these two life-affirming words contain so much syrah that from them people’s faces shine with spiritual joy, and the reality around us is literally transformed. heaven, earth, and even the underworld are filled with light, the visible and invisible world. celebrates, for christ has risen, eternal joy. the resurrection of the savior is not just historical an event that we learn about from sacred

texts. this is the cornerstone of faith, according to the words of saint philoret of moscow, eternal news, a source of reflection, surprise, gratitude and hope. “by the incarnation, the suffering of the ancient rebellion, the savior renews human nature, delivers us from the power of the sin of death, opens for people the gates of the heavenly kingdom, shows us the path to unity with the creator. it is in christ, who reconciled the world with god, that we all have the opportunity to receive adoption and justification, to find eternal life, because no. there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, except the name of jesus, whom god raised from the dead. the rise from

the savior's tomb offers death immortality, sadness into joy, doom into hope. on the cross in resurrection, the god of infinite goodness and perfect love is revealed to us. awareness of this all-conquering love of god encourages us to be grateful to the creator, and gives us the strength to overcome the most difficult mental states and difficult circumstances, elevates us above the vanity of everyday life, and helps to correct previous mistakes and destroys despondency, which prevents us from living fully and developing spiritually. often people succumb to the crafty thoughts that evil dominates and triumphs, and good seems imperceptibly weak. our mind doubts

the power of christ's redemption when we see the death of loved ones around us, hear about the eternity of torment for sinners from the pages of the gospel, and observe a world lying in evil. but the church. god has been convincingly testifying for thousands of years. the savior conquered sin, destroyed death devastated hell. catechetical sermon for holy easter. christ overcame the inevitability of death and the universality of evil, and we look at their defeat through the eyes of faith already from the life of the next century from the easter heights. the rise of the lord from the grave reminds us not only of the most important event of the past, but testifies to

the universal future. for if we believe that jesus died and rose again, then those who died in jesus god will bring with him. we need, through fulfilling the commandments of the lord, through doing deeds of love and mercy, through participation in the sacramental life of the church, join christ's victory and remain faithful to him to the end. “you need patience in order to fulfill the will of god and receive what was promised. and therefore, beloved brothers and sisters, according to the word of the apostle, do not abandon your hope, which will receive a great reward, and let the feast of the resurrection of the lord jesus be a constant

reminder.” about these true, divine promises that give us hope and strength in the most difficult circumstances. may this celebration inspire us all to live in faith and love, knowing that neither death, nor suffering, nor evil, able to overcome us if we are with christ and in christ, who has overcome sin, death and all unrighteousness. let us celebrate the lord's passover with purity of life, good behavior and good deeds, so that, being transformed into a new man in christ, serving the living and true god, we may look forward from heaven for his son, whom he raised from the dead, jesus, who will deliver us from the coming wrath. amen. kirill.

of christ. hello, dear friends, christ is risen. hello. elena zakharova, theater and film actress, raterey mikhail potokin, chairman of the social. department of the moscow diocese, i’m vladimir ligoida, we’re so happy today topic, main topic, big topic, immense topic, and you know, where i would like to start our conversation, dear friends, with such a personal moment, and how easter appeared in your life, you know, this is actually the first thing i have appeared in the church - it’s easter, i once, when i started going to church, well, i didn’t understand anything, of course, about church life, these were, well, the soviet years , it was the eighty-fifth year, somewhere, probably, yes, there was no millennium of baptism yet, somehow literature was not discovered, everything, and i probably understood little about church life, but i don’t remember it well, but

i feel that i was completely raw, in fact, what i remember from the service from those times was probably easter that made the strongest impression on me , and then they didn’t dock on easter, if you remember, yes, that is, they landed on holy saturday. you see, that is, there is no explanation here for what happens to you on easter night, there is no explanation for what happens in nature, that’s where the inspiration in a person comes from, what is it? or that or some other change in the body, no, but for me easter then became such a source of inner inspiration, and to this day, probably, i generally see inspiration in this, probably for our entire spiritual life, in general, the source

of inspiration should be, you know, a source of joy, from where, like him, i am always remembered, you know, and when you walk down the street, well, a child comes from school, carries a heavy briefcase, so he walks hard, moves his feet, suddenly starts to feel a little bounce, you know?

there are no people worshiping in the church, no parishioners, but along with this pain there was still some kind of joy, that it’s still easter, well, it’s impossible to hide, but it’s impossible to hide like the sun, well, how can you hide from it, it it’s shining, well, here’s the spiritual sun, that’s for sure, because i’m saying that as much life as easter gives, probably, well, probably nothing else can reveal it to us here on earth, you were thinking that, well, well, that’s how but yes, and a new eternal life?
