Easter greeting of Secretary of the NSDC of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov

Dear friends! I congratulate you on the bright holiday - the day of the Resurrection of Christ!

This is the holiday of true victory - the victory of truth over lies, love - over malice, life - over death.

Our God, taking upon himself all the sins of mankind, received terrible death for each of us on the Calvary. But death was not able to hold the Son of God in its toils. He has Risen!

The Bible says that when women brought the Good News of the Resurrection to the apostles, His most reliable and closest disciples did not believe them. Only the meeting of the apostles with the Risen Christ changed them, filled their lives with meaning. They had borne this Good News all over the world, and through thousands of years it has come to us.

The truth about the Resurrection of Christ changed the world, changed billions of people, laid the foundations of modern civilization. The living Christ is able to change the hearts and the lives of everyone who embraces Him and follows Him. He can give everyone wisdom, strength, courage, make a winner. Christ is able to change our country. Without Him there can be no greatness, prosperity and victory over enemies.

May God bless and strengthen all of us and our native country!

Christ has Risen! Ukraine will rise with Him!

Happy holiday, dear friends!
