Wishing you all a joyous Feast of the Resurrection of Christ!
The title refers to a line from the Paschal Homily of St. John Chrysostom, which you can find: here. This is the last paragraph:
O Death, where is your sting? O Hell, where is your victory? Christ is risen, and you are overthrown. Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen. Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice. Christ is risen, and life reigns. Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in the grave. For Christ, being risen from the dead, is become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. To Him be glory and dominion unto ages of ages. Amen.

I can remember where I was long ago when I first read this homily. It’s so glorious. Christ is Risen!
