@mindspring57 We use Greek and Church Slavonic as our liturgical languages, we dont use latin that much. During Pascha, in our church you can hear people joyfully yelling- Christos Voskrese! and Xhristos Anesti!

TRULY Risen!

Love and blessings also, to ALL who read this.

@tsyhan Thanks again for the information. I imagine you are aware that, in the Maronite church, the words of the Consecration are always spoken in Aramaic, regardless of the language in which the rest of the liturgy is being said. In case I did not mention it, I am a Ukrainian Catholic.

The Roman Mass always used some Greek (Kyrie Eleison). Greek & Latin are ancient languages of the Church, though not commonly used anymore in the West. Most Russian churches use Slavonic, but it does not preempt Greek, English...or Latin. I don't think we have any hard and fast rules. "Christ is Risen!" is the most important thing. (BTW--easier to say in Latin than Jesus' Aramaic)

@tsyhan When I search for that phrase, all of the websites appear to be in Russian, and I do not read, write, or speak the Russian language. Are you saying that the Orthodox sing the tropar in Latin too? Does that practice predate the Schism in 1054? Thanks for the information!

[tsyhan]

It is an easy way to explain this, but the composer/arranger is actually Russian Orthodox. Do a quick Google search for Виктор Астафьев Тропарь Пасхи. You can download the text and notes from various sites.

@chicagosfinest83 I do not know, but I suspect that a Ukrainian Catholic church uses Latin as a symbol of its communion with the Apostolic See of Rome. Latin is the official language of the Roman Rite of the Catholic Church, even today, so they are greeted in their official language as a matter of courtesy.

@shreder9100 Makes sense--there are hundreds of different versions of the Paschal Troparion--XB
