The Paschal Homily of St. John Chrysostom

Icon of the Harrowing of Hell from Ferapontov Monastery, now housed in the Russian State Museum in St. Petersburg

If anyone is a wise servant, let him, rejoicing, enter into the joy of his Lord.

If anyone has wearied himself in fasting, let him now receive his recompense.
