Paschal Greeting

In ancient tradition, Christians greet each other during Eastertide with the Paschal Greeting. There are myriad translations of this greeting into the languages of the world, but even within English there are several widely used versions. The wording we use in our Anglican Patrimony is
 

℣ Alleluia! Christ is Risen!
℟ The Lord is Risen indeed! Alleluia!


We'll say and respond to this greeting as a community before Sunday Masses in Eastertide; the words will be printed in the welcome section of the bulletin for easy reference. Don't be afraid to respond out loud!
