(Khristós Anésti! Alithós Anésti!)

المسيح قام! بالحقيقة قام!
(al-Masīḥ qām! Belḥāqiqāti qām!)
“The Lord reigns, and was clothed with magnificence, the Lord is adorned, with power and glory. He removed sadness, and offenses from Adam, and restored him again, to his authority … He appeared in power, and saved His people, with His arm, from the devil. He also descended, to the lower parts, of the earth, to Hades, through His mercy … There, in that place, He captured, captivity, without hindrance. He utterly broke, the iron latches, and took out His chosen, with dignity … He carried them, with Him to the highest, the place of rest, with rejoicing and joy. Because of His mercy, and His compassion, He removed from us, the heartache … This is the day, the Lord has made, let us rejoice, and be glad in it. Holy, Holy, Holy, are You, O Son of God, we send up to You, glory and hymns.” — Psali Adam on the First Canticle
