Lord Jesus Christ our God, through the great sorrow of the Cross and Your suffering, filled everyone with immeasurable joy through the three-day resurrection! We thank You, for You have now granted us, who have completed the fast, to achieve these holy days and the joy of Your bright resurrection to be partakers. We thank You, for through Your mercy and ineffable condescension towards our weaknesses, You comfort us and with a festive meal to strengthen and delight our weak flesh.
Moreover, we pray to You, bless this Easter bread, thickened milk, eggs and other Easter foods, especially these, from them, in obedience to the Charter of the Church, in the past Your servants abstained during the days of fasting, so that those who partake of them with thanksgiving may receive good health, strengthen their bodily strength, have joy and joy, and may they have an abundance of all things they have. and in good deeds, and from the fullness of a grateful heart, glorify You, the Risen One, who feeds and comforts us, together with You and Your Beginning Father and the Holy Spirit forever centuries. Amen.
This prayer can be read by the priest or the eldest of those present at the first festive meal instead of the usual blessing formula.
