^{Christ is Risen! Truly He is Risen!}

“Through Christ’s [birth and resurrection], what was being achieved was, in fact, fearful and productive of terror: death was destroyed, hell was broken apart, paradise was open, heaven was thrown open, demons were shackled, the lower regions were mingled with the upper regions, God became human, a human being is seated on the kingly throne, hope in [our] resurrection dawned, expectation reached beyond death, ineffable good things were enjoyed, and all other good things He achieved by His coming… In the Psalms, it reads, “Your right hand will guide You in marvelous fashion,” that it to say, we should marvel not only at what is achieved but at the fact that it is achieved in surprising fashion: through death is death destroyed, through a curse is a curse lifted and blessings bestowed, through eating we were expelled, through eating we have once again been admitted. A maiden expelled us from paradise, through a maiden we find eternal life. What was the means of our being condemned becomes the means of our being crowned.” – St. John Chrysostom
