I love how at Easter, we christians will sometimes greet one another by saying “He is risen”, to which the reply comes, ”He is Risen indeed”. Sources that know (okay, wikipedia) tell me that this is known as the Paschal greeting. Well, yes, and I love it. I wonder why we don’t say it more often, though. I mean, it’s as true every other day of the year as it is on Easter. And not only is it true, but it’s a fundamentally true. It’s a Big Truth.
Oh well, maybe it’s a good thing that we have special words for special days.
Today was a special Day.
Rejoice.
He is Risen.

We say He is Risen on Easter, but at other times we say, He is Good (to which one replies He is Good Indeed). To bad we don’t do this all the time. ~ L
