Summary/Abstract: The 2025 Easter Pastoral Letter issued by Archbishop Timotei of Arad explores the spiritual significance of Jesus Christ's Resurrection by analyzing His eleven post-resurrection appearances to the disciples and the myrrh-bearing women. Titled "The Voice of the Holy Resurrection's Hymns of Light", the message highlights the liturgical importance of the eleven Resurrection Gospels and their corresponding Matins hymns, known as "Luminânde". The Archbishop emphasizes how these sacred texts reveal the divine light and call believers to follow Christ. Furthermore, the letter commemorates the Centenary of the Romanian Patriarchate and urges the faithful to live as "children of light".
