Today is the day
of salvation for the world... Christ is risen from the dead: arise with
him. Christ returns to himself: you also must return to him. Christ has
come forth from the tomb: free yourselves from the fetters of evil. The
gates of hell are open and the power of death is destroyed. The old
Adam is superseded, the new perfected. In Christ a new creation is
coming to birth: renew yourselves. (Gregory of Nazianzen)
