The Mystery of the Risen Christ Fr. Boris Bobrinskoy,
trans. Fr John Breck EXCERPT:

The entire message,
indeed the very essence of Christianity
can be summed up
in the Church's triumphal cry on the night of Holy Pascha:
"Christ is truly risen!"
...
All of Christian theology,
like all of the two thousand year old treasure
of Holy Tradition,
is nothing other than a ceaseless meditation
of this "One Thing Needful" (Lk 10:42).

This is true in every aspect of the Church's life,
whether it be the theology of the Holy Fathers and the Ecumenical Councils,
biblical exegesis, liturgical theology, Christian hymnography,
or the spiritual experience of the saints,
which is the experience of the People of God as a whole.

Everywhere and at all times
the Mystery of Christ is the most fundamental Christian reality,
in which every symbol of faith is grounded and from which
all the richness of Church tradition flows forth.
