Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, Through the blood of the eternal covenant, Who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, The following Easter blessings are excerpted from blessings traditionally said by a Church of England priest, usually as part of the worship proceedings during an Easter service: For example, Ukrainian Christians will say “Khrystos Voskres” (“Christ is risen!”) and the response “Voistynu Voskres” (“He is truly risen”). There are many translations of this greeting, some of which slightly change the wording. In the paschal blessing, one Christian says, “He is risen!” and the other answers, “truly, he is risen!” or “He is risen indeed!” It takes its wording from the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ resurrection and appearance to his disciples (especially his appearance on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24:33-34). The paschal blessing is the oldest recorded Easter greeting. These Easter blessings are generally given in church services, but some are blessings that congregants give each other.
