Practice your Paschal greetings in 59 languages! Pascha Languages Be sure to print and save this one! I share with you also this resource page to reflect on the numerous uses of the word PASCHA in Holy Scripture , which helps to support why as Orthodox Christians we should avoid the use of the word "Easter"  Let us be set apart from the world in this way, and bear witness to the Gospel which is our risen Lord Jesus Christ, the Paschal Lamb!

This is a favorite project of ours for Sunday of Orthodoxy during Great Lent. It is particularly relevant, as many parishes join together, across canonical jurisdictions, to co-celebrate the Divine Liturgy, sometimes in many languages. As a global Orthodox project, I recorded fellow classmates from an Orthodox seminary chanting "Lord Have Mercy" in their native languages. With a large map, I ask the children to identify the country of origin and language for each track... together we try to learn 10 new languages! You can also quiz them with the handout, to see if they can match up the language with the countries.
