with me about how you do it, he’s fine, maybe there were such simple questions in general. we had each other. how did we assume jesus was a man with a penetrating eye, well-read and educated at the same time, who did not avoid holidays? it is only a sense of humor that can pull a person out of any trouble. almost certain of it. i am sure that he laughed a lot even when he was ill, he smiled and laughed, and yet the true image of christ as a person, most likely, will forever remain a mystery to every christian. he is his indeed, in order to turn to jesus with a prayer, it is not at all necessary to know how he looked in earthly life. hallelujah

hello dear viewers on this

mysterious, blessed and holy night, when the whole orthodox world solemnly celebrates the most joyful and life-affirming holiday, the bright sunday of christ, holy easter of the heart i greet you all from the cathedral of christ the savior in moscow at the microphone nikolai derzhavin easter service in the main church of the moscow patriarchate will primate of the russian orthodox church, his holiness his holiness patriarch kirill of moscow and all russia he will be served as a bishop to the lyrics of the cathedral of christ the savior and the metropolitan clergy will perform the hymns of the patriarchal choir of the temple.

a very special event in honor of the resurrection of jesus christ who came into the world in order to give people a very special law of interpersonal and any other relationships. unlike all those who came to him. and who dared to teach people how they should build their lives, the lord abandoned complex philosophical systems. he said a very simple thing. love each other. he put the law of love at the basis of interpersonal relationships. and if we all fulfilled this law, it's hard to even imagine what life would be like. but love is not only the most beautiful human feeling, love always carries a responsibility in relation to the one you

love, love must certainly be accompanied by responsibility. and if it were so, and god forbid that it be so for the majority of people, then our relations in families in labor collectives in society in the state would change wonderfully, because the law of love is the basis of human relations established by god. and the resurrection of christ is affirmed by the fact that the teaching of the savior cannot be broken by any human forces. it cannot be dismantled, it cannot disappear. although throughout history, huge forces have rushed to ensure that christianity does not remain stone upon stone. but nothing has achieved its success, which aimed

to destroy the legacy of the savior and why? and, because it cannot overcome the power, god's human power, and today we are celebrating christ's events on sunday, which really, as it were, confirmed the entire correctness of what the lord said to people, it raised the teachings of the savior to a very special height, showing that the teacher the founder of this wonderful doctrine of love was not just an outstanding person, but the lord himself, the son of god. and although the forces of evil attacked him and wanted to kill him along with his death. his teaching. nothing happened 2,000 years ago, it all happened. and today we are people of the 21st century in the center of the modern metropolis celebrating.

this event, just as people celebrated it, stands 200 and 300 and 1,000 years ago. all this testifies to the mercy of god about the power of god and, of course, calls us to take the word of god as really, a guiding indication for our life, so that we tried to build our lives in accordance with the law of love. in accordance with what they were taught by the lord who rose from the grave and our savior. i would like to wish all of you, my dear ones, the strength of the spiritual and bodily ability to overcome difficulties, including supplication to the will of god. i would like to wish everyone love, peace, prosperity, in the family in labor collectives, in general in any public associations, so that people who communicate with each other

enrich each other. they rejoiced in communication and, as far as possible, excluded from this communication everything that could hurt each other. may the resurrected help us the lord, who brought the law of love into the world in such a way, builds his life in order to implement this law and, undoubtedly, in this case, enjoy the amazing fruits of that life, which is based on the eternal unchanging divine law, love. i congratulate you all on the feast of holy easter, god's blessing. may the blessing of god abide over all of you. amen. amen. truth, so be it , this word is translated from hebrew into russian. so the worship service begins

every year, millions of people come to this night temples, in order to see with spiritual despair, a miracle, sunday to glorify the head of life and the winner of the death of christ, spend time in joint thanksgiving prayer and share easter joy with each other. today, many of you, for various reasons, are forced to stay in your homes. let your souls not be troubled and your hearts not grieve, for there are no borders or distances for prayer, and nothing, according to the word of holy scripture, can separate us from love.

of moscow before the revolution, the main sixty, five-ton bell of the dormition tolls of the moscow kremlin was the first to announce the beginning of the easter celebrations the powerful voice was listened to by the ringers of all moscow churches and monasteries, and only when they heard it they began to ring. in all seriousness over moscow sounded amazing in beauty and strength bell symphony, accompanying the procession of religious processions. following this tradition was so significant that the well-known moscow politician filaret drozdov, who was the ruling bishop for the first time in the capital city in the middle of the 19th century, issued a special order against the sinful, that is, before the temporary ringing on easter. this order prescribed

strictly follow the established order and not start ringing before ivan the great of the main kremlin bell tower. the procession performed on easter night is the procession of the church, towards the resurrected savior the procession takes place around the temple, with continuous ringing to the singing of the stichera of your resurrection christ, i save the angels, they sing in heaven and us on earth. the likeness of a pure heart to glorify you. as the spiritual bride goes, as they say in sacred hymns, her feet hung in the light, there is no way to meet the coming christ from the tomb

yako, that is, as a groom, the insipid move also symbolizes the procession. the myrrh-bearer, as the coffin of his teacher, in accordance with ancient jewish customs, to anoint the body of the deceased with the world is a special fragrant oil, the myrrh-bearer, literally the bearer of the world of incense. they, as we know, from the gospel story, were not afraid to go in the predawn children to the tomb cave, in order to pay the last tribute to their teacher. they did not yet know that the tomb was empty, that their divine mentor. risen from the dead, as testified the gospel of the miracle of sunday is learned by the myrrh-bearers from an

angel angel in greek means messenger. the church honors the memory of these fearless women on the second sunday after easter, which is what is called the week, that is, the resurrection of the holy myrrh-bearing women. we can say that this is an annual orthodox women's day, which this year will be celebrated on may 8 by all christians, and their high calling is to follow the lord and glorify him to be the light of the world and the salt of the earth.

the old testament passover was established in memory of the exodus of the israelites from egypt celebrating celebrating the deliverance of the egyptian from egyptian slavery. and ancient israel sacrificed a young lamb as a lamb. on easter night, the entire believing family, in compliance with special ritual prescriptions , ate this sacrificial lamb, while christians celebrate easter. remembrance of their deliverance from slavery to the devil and the memory of the sin of remembrance of the redemption of the human race by jesus christ

without blemish, who took upon himself the sins of the world and innocently suffered for each of us. no doubt the celebration of christian easter dates back to the time of the holy apostles, their younger contemporary saint ignatius the god-bearer mentions in one of his epistles about easter as the greatest christian celebration the time of celebrating easter is completely outdated the first ecumenical council, held in 325 in the city of nikea, this territory of modern turkey decided all local churches celebrate easter on the same day, sunday after the full moon, which happens after spring day.
