[Homilies and Spiritual Instruction]
Since the Resurrection of the Lord is the greatest and most important event and beyond all thought, it is rededicated not only once a year, but also on every "eighth" day. The first rededication of the Resurrection is this present Sunday, for it is truly both the "eighth" day and the "first." It is the eighth day after Pascha, and the first day, because it is the beginning of the other days. Again, it is called the "eighth" day because it prefigures the unending day of the future age to come, which will be truly the "first" day and a day that is not divided by a single night. This is why this Sunday is called the Antipascha, which interpreted means "in the place of Pascha."
[Saints. Asceties of Piety. Church Holy Days ]
Demetrios, Archbishop of America
Through faith we affirm that Christ is Risen and is among us, and we bear witness of His Resurrection and presence through our participation in the Holy Eucharist. In this Great Mystery, the pure Body and precious Blood of the Risen Lord is offered for us and to us. Through faith and our reception of the sacrament, we are joined with the One who lives!
