Pascha was, in a word, amazing. I'm already looking forward to next year (and I say that every year). My favorite moments:

*"I will arise and be glorified"...when the Plashchanitsa is lifted up and carried into the altar. 

*Seeing the banners and everything being readied for the procession in total darkness

*The lighting of the New Fire

*The procession itself, despite the fact that only two of us know the Slavonic for "The angels in Heaven sing"

*The reading of the Gospel

*Everything else, really


I wish I could articulately explain why it's so important to be Orthodox. I know I do a bad job of it. God, show me how!
