“Easter, St. Petersburg, 2021

 

‘Exult, let them exult, the hosts of heaven, exult, let Angel ministers of God exult, let the trumpet of salvation sound aloud our mighty King’s triumph! Be glad, let earth be glad, as glory floods her, ablaze with light from her eternal King, let all corners of the earth be glad, knowing an end to gloom and darkness.’ (An excerpt from the Proclamation of Easter) [English translation from the website of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops.]

 

“On this joyful and luminous day, please receive my sincere greetings on the occasion of this great feast of our faith – the Resurrection of Jesus Christ! May the Resurrected Lord send you an abundance of His mercies and strengthen you with His gifts!

 

“Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!

 

Bishop Nikolai Dubinin, Auxiliary Bishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of the Mother of God in Moscow”
