Beloved in the Lord dear brothers and sisters!

On this bright and joyful day, the great feast of the Resurrection of Christ, I extend my sincerest Paschal greetings   to all of you, giving thanks to our Lord the Giver of Life, Who has found us worthy to see this radiant day of salvation: Christ is Risen!

May the Saviour of the World, risen from the Tomb, fill you with spiritual joy and find you worthy to glorify with a pure heart His Resurrection on the third day — the foundation for our own resurrection.

This year again, Easter/Pascha is held in very special conditions, which for all of us are a great test, but even they will not overshadow the joy of this great Feast.

I hope and pray that we all can experience the period of the Easter Season with health and in a spiritual, uplifting manner.

May Christ, the Hope of our salvation, Who suffered for our sake, who was buried and rose from the dead, fill us all with ineffable and lasting joy and with hope for the triumph of love, justice and peace throughout the world, and may He bless you  and your  family with His richest blessings, prosperity, success and good health.

Together with my Easter greeting, I am also sending you the May Bulletin. Please open the attachment.

Wishing you all a Blessed and Happy Easter!

With love in the Risen Christ,

Father Igor Kisil,

Rector of St. Barbara’s Cathedral,

Dean of the Patriarchal Parishes in Canada
