The Church today celebrates the Apodosis of Pascha, Holy Easter.
Today is also the feast day of Cyril, Patriarch of Alexandria, who was born in the late fourth century.

Christ is risen from the dead, by death, trampling down upon death, and to those in the tombs He has granted life.
Kontakion of Apodosis of Pascha

Though You went down into the tomb, You destroyed Hades’ power, and You rose the victor, Christ God, saying to the myrrh-bearing women, “Hail!” and granting peace to Your disciples, You who raise up the fallen.
