The Resurrection of Christ is the day of Victory over the most terrible enemies of humanity-death and the devil. The gates of paradise have opened for everyone, and to enter them, you only need to want to be always with Christ. And our joy is that we have such a God Who, having created the universe, washes the feet of fishermen, and He is even ready to die for us, if it is necessary for our salvation!While the Philippines is once again plunged into lockdown due to the pandemic, the situation in Vietnam allows to fully celebrate our main Holiday. Almost a hundred people took part in the procession, and about seventy received communion of the holy Mysteries of Christ. The Easter Service was held in Vung Tau, where the Service was broadcast live to the Orthodox communities of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Several people came to the service from Nha Trang, Mui Ne and Ho Chi Minh City. According to tradition, the Gospel of John was read in different languages: Church Slavonic, Vietnamese, Chinese, Greek, French, Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian, Kazakh, and others.
