I called my mother this morning to say, "Christos Voskrese!" in case no one else had already done so. She said, "Christos Voskrese? Voistinu Voskrese!".
These mean, "Christ has risen" and, "Indeed, He has risen!" in Slovak.
It is Easter for many Christians today, those celebrating according to the eastern rite. My mother is no longer a practicing Catholic (given that she and my father have become Quakers), but last week she had announced she wasn't going to say, "Christos Voskrese!" to anyone that day. So I felt her old Easter still had a place in her heart and that someone should greet her the way that her family always did on this day. (It turned out my aunt, her sister, had spent the night there last night and they had already greeted each other with this traditional greeting today.)
Happy Easter to anyone who is celebrating today!
