Christ is Risen! We had a wonderful Pascha, and the Troparion is still echoing in my head "Christ is Risen from the dead. Trampling down death by death. And upon those in the tomb bestowing life"
Five things I want to remember about this Pascha
1) I cannot dye eggs red. I should never, ever sign up for bringing a dozen again.
2) Xavier did a great job serving in the Altar. He stayed awake the entire time and looked darling.
3) Cedric is surly and I love him. He looked great in a sage green shirt for Paulie's wedding, even though he insisted on wearing the collar buttoned up and then folded up.
4) It was a beautiful, sunny day it wasn't too cold, rainy or damp and the picnic was wonderful
5) The item I enjoyed breaking my fast with the most was get this, Peeps.

Very cool Pascha Baskets. I never did one before so mine was a tad empty but everyone liked it anyway. And someone gave me a pink marshmallow bunny which I enjoyed very much! Peeps are made here in my hometown.
Are they really? How awesome is that? I'd be in heaven! (and bigger than a breadbox for sure! Bwahahahaaha)
Those were the Pascha baskets the kids got for Sunday morning with candy. I've never taken a basket to church, but this year I helped light the candles on them before they were blessed and really felt the absence of one, so I'll work on it for next year.
Christ is risen!
Mimi,
it's great to know of another Orthodox blogger in the area. Nice pictures. :) And I enjoyed your post on the U2 show.
Thank you Dawn! Glad to "meet" you too! I think I wandered by your Blog the other day - I'm hopeful we can meet someday!
Peeps!! Have you tried the strawberry ones? Mmmm...!!! I love 'em hot from the microwave, too.
