The Resurrection of Christ is the foundation of our Orthodox Christian Faith.

The Resurrection of Christ is the first, most important, great truth, with the proclamation of which the Apostle began their preaching of the Gospel after the descent of the Holy Spirit. Just as by the death of Christ on the Cross our Redemption was accomplished, so by His Resurrection eternal life was given to us. Therefore, the Resurrection of Christ is the object of the Church's constant triumph, its unceasing rejoicing, which reaches its summit in the Feast of the Holy Christian Pascha--"Today all creation is glad and rejoices, for Christ has risen!" (Canon of Pascha, Canticle 9).
