DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona ad Benedictus

Easter Sunday - Lauds - Benedictus

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 valde mane una sabbatorum veniunt ad monumentum, orto jam sole, alleluia.
ENGLISH
And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they come to the sepulchre, the sun being now risen, alleluia.
