The exchange is the traditional Paschal greeting used by Orthodox and Eastern Catholic Christians during the Easter season. One person declares that Christ is risen, and the other replies that He is risen indeed, a form heard in many languages at Pascha services and family gatherings. The Arabic wording is used by Arabic-speaking Christians across the Middle East and in diaspora communities. As phones replaced cards for holiday wishes, short recordings of the greeting began circulating through WhatsApp messages, church groups and social posts each Easter.
