After we hopefully all got a bit of rest, we came back together at church this afternoon for the second part of our Pascha celebration: Agape Vespers. Known as the Vespers of Love, this is a special continuation of the Resurrection celebration where we read the Gospel account of Christ first appearing to his disciples after the Resurrection in as many languages as people speak in attendance, symbolizing God's love for all nations. Today we had English, Greek, Romania, Italian, Finnish, French, Spanish, German and Vietnamese. Then we had a celebratory procession around the church, followed by a feast and egg hunt.
