Hristos Voskrese +++ Vaistinu Voskrese +++

First of all, i would like to greet everyone a Blessed Easter. Christ is risen. Hristos Voskrese +++
We all know that after Easter, we can eat pork, do some stuff and anything. For me, however, our dedication and prayers to God should continue whether it is Easter or Pentecost or Dormition and Christmas. It is also important to know that being Christians, we know how Christ came from the tomb to prove to anyone that he destroyed death and rose up like how he made Lazarus rise up from his death in previous days.

One thing i missed is, the Holy Fire. The Holy fire that only the Eastern Orthodox Church can make every Easter Sunday. A true testament of God's miracle and power, not to mention the Snakes that protected the church in Kefalonia in Greece from pirates and every year appears at Dormition.

If ever i became an Orthodox and would be sharing the Holy fire with churchmates, it means that God works hard for us to know how he loved us even if we sin so much that is why we are being forgiven. No need to mention degrees of sin(seven deadly sins of the Roman Catholic Church) but the commandment of love and lessening our sins.

For me, Easter is the epitome of a new life, new life from a past sinful life and will live by God's miracle. A miracle that ensures us that we can do good, as long as we believe.
