Pasha with Fr. Herman Kincaid

The Paschal greeting is a custom among Orthodox Christians, consisting of a greeting and response. Instead of "hello" or its equivalent, one is to greet another person with "Christ is Risen!" The response is "Truly, He is risen!" (or "Indeed, He is risen!"). This greeting is used during liturgical services and informally at other times, starting with the feast of Pascha and lasting until Ascension, the period known as Paschaltide.

In practice, this custom is usually restricted in use with people that one already knows are Orthodox. In some cultures (e.g., in Russia), it was also customary to exchange a triple kiss after the greeting. It is not uncommon for Orthodox Christians to compile lists of the greeting as it is used around the world, as an act of Orthodox unity across languages and cultures.

"Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; let those who hate him flee from before his face!"

"Christ is Risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life."

"This is the day which the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!"
