In the Eastern church, the traditional greeting during the Easter season is "Christ is risen!" To which the other person replies, "He is risen indeed!" Wouldn't it be fabulous if people would respond in that way when they hear that greeting today?
The original of this image (sans text) came from www.reelworship.com .
I found a couple of pages of lists of this Paschal greeting in many different languages; look here and here.
And look here for my post on Easter two years ago. I'd forgotten all about that beautiful Via Matrix service.
