That is the way that we say "Christ is Risen!" in Slovak in the Byzantine Faith.
I have truly missed this weekend's church services and festivities...unfortunately in El Paso I can't find a Byzantine Church...but our faith is in how we carry and present ourselves and look at and react to the world around us.
Although I miss everyone back home...it singing the songs during the Good Friday and Ressurection services that I miss the most...I hope that Uncle Bill didn't mind me singing his solo a couple of times during the past few days.
I hope that everyone has a Blessed and Happy Easter!

Vo Istinu Voskres! With the Feast of the Annuncation falling on Good Friday there weren't many of the "traditional" songs that the choir sang. Alan did find a way to slip in a couple (Now You Shall Dismiss Your Servant and The Venerable Joseph Tropar both in OS)and there were a few numbers the choir sang before Ressurection Matins last night at 11:00pm. Father Steve told me he found out from Bishop John that I can distribute communion whenever he needs me to (spilled a bit during Holy Saturday Vespers - 5:00 - but Q says it happens at least once to everyone. At least I didn't drop the whole chalice!). I'll eat a little extra food from the basket for you after I visit Dr. Sylvestro tomorrow. It looks like I'll need the files inside on the one canine he just fixed in January. BTW I've joined the IM ranks - ByzCathCantor - add me to your list, you're already on mine.
Your long haired bro.
