Alleluia! He is risen!


Did you know that the early Christians greeted one another with this phrase during the Easter season?




"Alleluia! He is risen."




To which one would reply,"He is truly risen." or "He is risen indeed."




Now that Easter Sunday is over, how can we continue to celebrate the resurrection throughout these 50 days? Some ideas include receiving the Eucharist more often, using the Easter greeting above with one another, making hot cross buns or paschal bread for the family, performing random acts of kindness to a stranger.
