I'd like to wish all Eastern Orthodox Christians a happy Easter!
Kalo Pascha and Kali Anastasi!

My mother was raised mostly as Russian Orthodox though her own mother was Lutheran.

When I was about 20, she took me to an R.O. Easter eve service once at my request.
It was one of the most beautiful religious services I've ever seen, with everyone circling the church carrying pussy-willow branches while the priest and assistants waved big censers of incense and sprinkled us with holy water.
Happy Easter to all Orthodox believers who celebrate today!
