I noticed last Sunday that they sang Christ is Risen in English, Greek & Arabic. I caught in Greek: "Cristos Anesti Eknekron, thanatos thanatos..." and that is all. I caught none of the Arabic, although I know "Almasi Qam! Haqan Qam!"
Could anyone give me the words in Greek and Arabic[English pronunciation] so I can sing along next time?

GREEK:
It is pronounced: KristOs Anesti ek nekron, thanάto, thάnaton patisas, ke tis en tis mnimasi, zOin xarisάmenos.
Christ is Risen from the dead, by death, He is trampling upon death, and to those in the tombs, He is granting life!

Dear Alice,
It truly is GREEK to me . . .
I remember reading about the life of the Holy New Hieromartyr St Chrestos of Greece.
He was actually tortured by the Turks on a Great and Holy Friday in the 19th century by being scourged, crowned with thorns and nailed to a cross . . .
A foreign ambassador witnessed his fearsome death and did a written report for his government that became a foundation for the martyr's eventual glorification . . .
Is "Chrestos" a popular Greek name? Does it refer to our Lord or to a saint?
Alex

Dear Alex, I know that the following was not addressed to me: Is "Chrestos" a popular Greek name? Does it refer to our Lord or to a saint? I say, frankly I don't know. Someone named Christopher would be addressed as Christos, or someone name Chrysostomos would be addressed as Christos. Whether it would be used as the name of our Lord, I don't know. Only a real Greek might know that...or maybe not! Zenovia

Now a little lesson in Greek. KristOs, (Christ), Anesti, (arose), ek, (from), nekron, (the dead), thanάto,(death), thάnaton, (death is), patisas, (stepped upon), ke, (and) tis, (those), en, (in), tis, (those), mnimasi,(tombs), zOin, (life), charisάmenos, He is gifting them. Zenovia See it's not so hard, it is an Arian language. It has an awful lot of grammar so it is exceedingly flexible so that new words can be created easily. Actually every word is basically an action word, which then becomes translated into a noun. Thus the differences in the translations. Zenovia
