Description
This programme begins with the Easter procession of the monks and bishops of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate in Jerusalem to the Church of the Holy Sepulcre. There they declare that 'Christ has Ris...en'. The bulk of the programme consists of the next morning's - Easter Monday's - liturgy, the liturgy of St John Chrysostom. The church in the patriarchate is crowded with pilgrims from Greece and Cyprus. The theme of the liturgy is 'Christ has Risen'. We see and hear part of the opening prayers, the procession leading to the Gospel, the procession of the sacred gifts, the celebration of the Eucharist, and the people receiving Communion under the forms of bread and wine, and collecting blessed bread to take away to their homes.
