About this episode
A first-hand account of Pascha celebrated by prisoners of the Solovki concentration-camp, a formerly active monastery.
CHRIST IS RISEN! INDEED, HE IS RISEN!
"The white night of Solovki was nearing its end. The delicate, rose-colored morning of Solovki, the sun playing for joy, greeted the monastery-concentration camp, converting it into the invisible city of Kitezh and filling out free souls with a quiet, unearthly joy. Many years have passed since that time, but the fragrant remembrance of this delicate Paschal morning is unforgettably alive; it was literally only yesterday."
