Easter Greeting from The Middle East Council of Churches
March 30, 2007
At this Spring time of year, the Holy Land offers its beautiful flora after the blessed rains of winter. The sprouting of the wild flowers and shrubs all over the hills and countryside of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip is a reminder of the awakening after slumber; of brightness after darkness; of liberation after imprisonment; of hope after entombment; of Resurrection after Crucifixion.
The Department of Service to Palestinian Refugees of the Middle East Council of Churches sends you Easter Greetings from the land of Easter and as the indigenous Arab Palestinian Christians greet each other on this occasion, we say to each one of you :
Christ is Risen! Indeed He is Risen !
