quote: Resurrection Season
For 40 Days we:
1. Greet each other by saying: "Christ is risen!" "He is truly risen!" Thus we profess our faith.
2. There is no kneeling in public or private prayer. We stand to show that we are risen with Christ.
3. There is no fasting for our Bridegroom is with us. Any kind of food may be eaten on any day of the week.
4. The Holy Doors of the Iconostasis remain open to show that now Paradise is open to us.
