DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona 2

Easter Sunday - Lauds

Proper text for Easter Sunday, the greatest feast of the liturgical year. This Class I feast celebrates Christ's bodily Resurrection from the dead. The Office texts overflow with Paschal joy and alleluias, proclaiming victory over death, the fulfillment of prophecy, and the firstfruits of our own resurrection.

LATINE
Et ecce terraemotus factus est magnus: Angelus enim Domini descendit de caelo, alleluia.
ENGLISH
