an Easter custom among Orthodox Christians to greet another person with "Christ is Risen!" and the response is Alithos Anesti ("Ἀληθῶς ἀνέστη! " - "Truly He is Risen!" or "He Has Risen Indeed!")This message has been edited. Last edited by: downtownv, _________________________ | ||

The phrase "Christo Anesti!" has been ruined for my by the "My big fat Greek wedding" movies. Which I love! Rolan Kraps SASS Regulator Gainesville, Georgia. NRA Range Safety Officer NRA Certified Instructor - Pistol / Personal Protection Inside the Home | |||

It is a custom among Christians here to intone "Christ is Risen!" with the response "Christ is risen indeed!" (Sometimes "Christ" is replaced by "He", but the intent is the same.) I have been accustomed to this happening for most of my life. It usually only occurs on Easter Sunday, though. flashguy Texan by choice, not accident of birth | |||

Christos Anesti to all. We use the Orthodox calender, which usually celebrates His birth a little later. And we also get candy at half off. Never be more than one step away from your sword-Old Greek Wisdom | |||
