The Resurrection of Hope

In Greece, every Holy Saturday at midnight, we kiss each other to a chorus of fireworks, church bells and chanting priests, spreading the word that “Χριστός Ανέστη” (Christ has risen).

Faith, Love and Hope have won. 

As a non-religious person, I choose to keep a simple symbolism of the Resurrection of Christ: the victory of light over darkness. It’s the proof of the splendor and power of morality, strength and love.

Every Holy Saturday for the past few years, at midnight, I tweet my wish and hope: “Christ has risen. Now it’s our turn.”
