Christ is risen from the dead trampling down death by death and upon those in the tombs bestowing life. -Tropar of the Resurrection
…O Death, where is thy sting?
O Hell, where is thy victory?
Christ is risen, and thou art overthrown!
Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen!
Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice!
Christ is risen, and life reigns!
Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in the grave.
For Christ, being risen from the dead,
Is become the first-fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
To Him be glory and dominion unto ages of ages. Amen.
- Paschal Homily of St. John Chrysostom
