On Easter Sunday afternoon, the faithful gather once more for prayer with lighted candles. All sing the hymn, "Christ is Risen from the Dead." The people greet one another joyously, saying: "Christ is Risen," the Easter salutation which is answered, "Truly He is Risen." They sing, "the dark shadows of the Law has passed away by the coming of grace," and standing in exaltation they exclaim, "Who is so great a God as our God?"

The fruit of faith in the Resurrection of the Lord is love in His Name; therefore, this day is called, "Sunday of Agape" (love feast), a day dedicated to Christian principles, especially to forgiveness and charity.
