Χριστός ανέστη (Christos anesti), by Christos Hatzis

Χριστός ανέστη εκ νεκρών, θανάτω θάνατον πατήσας, και τοις εν τοις μνήμασι, ζωὴν χαρισάμενος! Christos anesti ek nekron, 
thanato thanaton patisas, 
ke tis en tis mnimasin,
 zoin charisamenos! Christ is risen from the dead, Trampling down death by death, And to those in the tombs He has given life! The Christos Anesti hymn sung at Easter celebrating the moment of Christ's resurrection is the most important and beautiful revelation of Christianity and poignant expression down the centuries of the Greek desire for the rebirth of our race and nation. This version is taken from Christos Hatzis' work Constantinople and is sung by Patricia O'Callaghan. See also: http://hellenicantidote.blogspot.com/2008/04/christos-anesti.html
