Sunrise: Son Risen


Easter Sunday - the day folk of the christian faith celebrate Jesus Christ, risen from the dead.
When I ran a church youth group we would sleep over in the church rooms each easter eve, having a midnight service before bedding down - and then waking just before dawn to the acclamation.


Jesus Christ is Risen Today!
to which we all enthusiastically replied
He is Risen Indeed, ALLELUIAH!


Our sleeping bags were somewhat harder to leave behind, but we would then join other parish members to a dawn cadlelit service in the church followed by a sizzling breakfast provided by an excelent team of cooks.
