Orthodox Easter

In keeping with my precedent of offering holiday greetings for feasts celebrated in the region, I would like to wish all my Eastern Christian readers (Orthodox, Copts, Armenians, Assyrians, Syrian Orthodox, etc.) a happy Easter under the Eastern calendar system. Easter is a particularly central and triumphant feast among the Eastern churches, and it falls this Sunday this year, a week after the Western date.
