“You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)
Pascha is the start of a new liturgical year in the Church, with new readings from the Acts of the Apostles and the Gospel according to John.
It also shows us what it means to be made new in Christ: to find new (and true) life in connection with our Lord.
The Gospel and Epistle readings present St John the Forerunner and the first Christians as beautiful examples of what this new life looks like.
