[01] Easter message by Archbishop

"Feeling confident that the sacrificed and triumphant love of God can give happiness and hope, wherever darkness and grief may still be prevailing, I am make an appeal in every direction, to those close and to those far away, wishing to all and to each one personally the Easter greeting: Christ has Risen," Archbishop Ieronymos said in his message.

"The Church has nothing less than light to offer to you. It has nothing more important than the Resurrection to proclaim. Come to our common home, the House of God, where there is nothing more valuable than Light and Resurrection for us to share," he added.

Ecumenical Patriarch Vartholomeos prayed for "peace in the world, illuminating truth and justice in people's souls", in an Easter message issued at the Fanar, Istanbul on Wednesday.

"The heavy winter of death belongs to the past and henceforth our Life and Resurrection is not a quest anymore, is not a dream nor an utopia but a tangible reality," Vartholomeos noted.

"From our suffering Patriarcal and Ecumenical seat, we pray God may give peace in the world, illuminating truth and justice in people's souls, patience and support to every one suffering, taste of salvation and eternal life to all faithfull," the Patriarch added.

Archbishop of Tirana, Dures and All Albania Anastasios said in his message that "the hope of resurrection cannot be imposed. It is conveyed. Let us convey it to our wounded society with our speech and our lives," adding that "we can face the tough reality of our lives with the hope which transforms even the most tragic of conditions, giving them a sense of redemption."
