Belated Easter Post

Many weeks late, a chant from the Mass for Easter. The "alleluia" (that can be) sung before the reading of the Gospel: Alleluia Pascha Nostrum.

"Alleluia. Christ our Paschal victim is sacrificed. Alleluia"

.

Another version of the chant above, this time accompanied by the Indian sitar. Very beautiful.
