Easter Message of the Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches in Jerusalem

“From the midst of the present darkness that engulfs our region, We, the Patriarchs and Heads of the Churches in Jerusalem,nevertheless boldly proclaim to the world a message of life and hope. It is the same message first announced to the women who hadcome to mourn at Christ’s tomb. As the angel said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen” (Luke 24:5). At these astonishing words, the women’s sorrow was suddenly transformed into joy, their grief into exultation.The Lord had risen indeed!”

So begins the Easter message that the Patriarchs and Heads of Churches in Jerusalem jointly released on the occasion of Easter, which, this year, the Jerusalem Churches are celebrating at the same time.
