''Jesus Christ’s victory over death, darkness and the all-consuming and destructive power of evil, is the culmination, the highest and most categorical expression of God's love for us and for the entire creation'', reads the Paschal message to Orthodox Christians by the Metropolitans of the Holy Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church and Metropolitan Gregory of Vratsa, who was elected temporary head of the Holy Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church.

"God's gifts to us are countless, but the greatest and most generous among them is the gift of the Resurrection", emphasize the metropolitans and wish all believers a bright and joy-filled Easter.
