PASCHA:

EASTER prefigured

Those who were freed by Moses from slavery in Egypt sang a song of triumph to the Lord after they had crossed the Red Sea, and after Pharaoh’s army had been overwhelmed; in the same way, now our sins have been washed away in baptism, we too should express fitting gratitude for the gifts of heaven.

The Egyptians who oppressed the people of God, and who can also stand for darkness and or trials, are an apt symbol of the sins that once oppressed us but have now been destroyed in baptism.           .

The deliverance of the children of Israel and their journey to the long-promised land corresponded with the mystery of our redemption.

We are making our way toward the light of our heavenly home, with the grace of Christ leading us and showing us the way. The light of His grace was also symbolized by the cloud and pillar of fire, which protected the Israelites from darkness throughout their journey, and brought them by a wonderful path to their promised homeland.

-Venerable Bede (672 -735)

CHRIST IS RISEN!

INDEED HE IS RISEN!

CHRSITOS VOSKRESE!

VOISTINU VOSKRESE!
