Christos Anesti Dad Hat

Χριστὸς Ἀνέστη. Ἀληθῶς Ἀνέστη.

Christ is risen. Truly He is risen. It is the greeting the Church shouts at midnight on Pascha and keeps saying for forty days. We don't say hello, we confess the empty tomb.

This hat carries both halves. ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ ΑΝΕΣΤΗ across the front, split by the flame of the Paschal candle, the light handed down the nave from the one candle at the altar: Come, receive the light. ΑΛΗΘΩΣ ΑΝΕΣΤΗ across the back. Whoever walks behind you gets the answer.

"Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life."
— Paschal Troparion

Cranberry for the red eggs of Pascha. Spruce and Black for the rest of the year, because every Sunday is a little Pascha.
