After the Midnight Office, sung in a dark church, the faithful wait in darkness and silence. Then, behind the iconostas, light appears!
After the procession, the services of Pascha continued in brightness of what seemed 1,000 candles, the clergy shouting, "Christ is risen!" in English and other languages, and the people replying, "Indeed He is risen!" Later, in the Divine Liturgy, the Paschal Gospel was read in many languages, and finally, the faithful come for Holy Communion.
You may wish to see our photographs of Pascha as well!
