Local Orthodox Christians Converge to Celebrate Easter

This past weekend, over 300 million Orthodox Christians around the world celebrated Easter, or Pascha, as they call it. Locally in our communities, we have three Orthodox Churches that participated in that celebration; Holy Trinity in Springfield, Vermont, St. Vasilios Greek Church in Newport, NH and Holy Resurrection here in Claremont.

They all welcomed YCN into their midst to share in the joy of this annual event. Father Peter Carmichael spoke to us about the significance of this event in the life of Christians.

It is obvious that the Orthodox Church is a most ancient sensory experience; hearing, seeing, touch, smell, and taste. YCN would like to thank these three Orthodox Churches for their hospitality while sharing this precious and sacred event with YCN and our viewers.

The entire mystery of salvation is the mystery of freedom and love. If we freely love God, we will feel the joy of communion, of eternal life with God. This is the mystery of love, which is stronger than sin, Hades and death. This is the actual spiritual content of Pascha. 1st ever 360 video from Moscow main cathedral shows grandeur of Orthodox Easter service 1st ever 360 video from Moscow main cathedral shows grandeur of Orthodox Easter service 1st ever 360 video from Moscow main cathedral shows grandeur of Orthodox Easter service 1st ever 360 video from Moscow main cathedral shows grandeur of Orthodox Easter service

Christ, ‘the first fruits of them that slept’, has shown us the only possible way of overcoming sin and death. This is the way of love. And it is to this love that we are called to bear witness before the whole world. And we are called in the first instance by the example of our own lives, for ‘by this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another’.
