          Resurrection is the covenant that all the Christians   In these hours of darkness, when humanity is
          who passed away will unite during Christ's second     grappling    with   the   pandemic     and   many
          coming. Theologically speaking, the passion, death,   socio-economic problems, we must heed the
          and resurrection of Jesus are the preeminent          angel’s Easter message not to be afraid, have the
          events, the bedrock of Christian faith, as celebrated   assurance that in Galilee, where the Lord precedes
          in Easter.                                            them, fulfill their expectations, will dry their tears,

          Tradition, founded by the documents of the New
          Testament, and preached as an integral part of the
          Paschal mystery alongside the cross.
