Summary/Abstract: This document is the 2024 Easter Pastoral Letter authored by Archbishop Timotei of Arad, entitled "The Divine Watch". The text delves into the profound theological significance of Jesus Christ's Resurrection, emphasizing the concept of the "divine watch" inspired by the prophet Habakkuk and Orthodox hymnography. Archbishop Timotei beautifully contrasts the earthly soldiers at the tomb with the heavenly angels who announced the Savior's victory over death. Furthermore, the letter explores the eschatological meaning of Sunday as the eighth day of creation. Finally, in alignment with the Homage Year on pastoral care of the sick, it concludes with a strong exhortation to support the suffering.
