party in the USA

Bramantino Suardi - The Risen Christ, 1490

"so i put my hands up, they're playin' my song [Alléluia]
the butterflies fly away
i'm noddin' my head like 'Yeah!'
movin' my hips like 'Yeah!'

got my hands up, they're playin' my song [Alléluia]
and now i'm gonna be okay
yeah!  it's a party in the USA Universal Church!
yeah!  it's a party in the USA Universal Church!" (Miley Cyrus - Party in the USA, 2009)

it is indeed a party in the Universal Church, and we have reason to nod our heads and move our hips!  Yeah!  Christ is Risen!  Alléluia!  He is truly Risen!!!  Alléluia!  as St. Augustine said, "we are Easter people and alleluia is our song!"

happy Easter, joyeuses Pâques!!!  party hard.  pray harder.  peace.

ps.  time for chocolate(s). :)
