US Army Chaplain Father Emil Kapaun stole, suffered and sacrificed his life for his fellow soldiers in a Korean prison camp. Six decades after his death, he is being considered for the Medal of Honor - and sainthood. On 2 November 1950, Father Kapaun made the decision that led to his death.
“If Christ is not resurrected, then our preaching is in vain.” The words of the Apostle Paul reach us through the centuries. The central meaning and foundation of our faith is Jesus Christ, God become Man. He lived among people, was put to death, but rose from the dead.
If Christ’s Resurrection referred to Himself, then its significance for us would be negligible. The Church proclaims, however, that, the Lord did not arise alone. Together with Himself, He also resurrected all people.
New Hieromartyr Hilarion (Troitsky), Archbishop of Verey
Pascha of incorruption… The ancient inheritance is returned… Our seminary theology talks about some legal accounts between God and man. Sin is called for the most part a crime against God, an offense against God, for which God’s justice must take revenge against the despicable offender. But the Church first of all calls sin corruption, the loss of our ancient inheritance: incorruption.

In Christian art, the most ineffable and important moment in the Gospels—The Resurrection of Christ—is usually not depicted. This miracle is not accessible to human comprehension. It is not described by the Evangelists who wrote the Gospels, nor is it described in Church hymnography.
