Hallelujah!

Somehow this perfectly captures Christianity. Even in the middle of the most mundane of ordinary life, there is joy and beauty. Because there is more than this. More than what we can see and touch. Beauty and joy and truth - these things are eternal. And so are we.

Happy Easter! (Again. *g*)

That was a lovely treat for this fine Easter morning. Thank you

Totally my pleasure! :)

I am not a believer these days, but I wept as I watched and listened. Even if I don't believe, there are some stories that are always true: Christós Anésti̱.

A Happy Easter to you.

Oh that makes me so happy! I wanted *something* to capture today's message, and then by pure chance happened across this and rushed to share. :)

Good grief, that made me cry and I'm an *atheist* for Pete's sake. Thanks for posting it - that kind of joy is the thread that binds us all together. :0D

I watched it and it was just *perfect* and I wanted to share it with EVERYONE! I love that we are capable of such incredible beauty... <3

Happy Easter to you and your family! The vid was great!

[elisi]

Thank you and the same to you. And I couldn't not share. :)

Neat! And a great thought. Happy easter to you too!

Happy Easter! :)

And I love flash mobs, they're a fantastic idea.

They did this in our area too, albeit in a lovely old center city department store with a famous organ:



Still wonderfully uplifting, though.

[elisi]

Oh brilliant. Thanks for sharing! :)

What a lovely Easter tribute! I've seen it before, but it still makes me cry.

Happy Easter! He is risen!

[elisi]

He is risen indeed!

And I think this might be my favourite flash mob idea that I've ever seen. :)

Lovely! That made me cry! Thank you for sharing that!!

Incredible, isn't it? *hands over belated tissues*

Watched this last night after all the celebrating had simmered down. How lovely! Made me cry.

YES. Beautifully put.

Strange how things that are very, very beautiful can have such an emotional response, but I think it's a good thing, really.

And I'm so glad my words resonated with you - I was casting around for something to communicate how I felt, and just prayed that it'd come across right. Words can be so difficult sometimes.
