In many countries, during the Easter season, it is customary for someone to greet another with the words, 'Christ is risen!', to which the other person responds, 'He is risen indeed!'

Here is the Easter Greeting in the native and ancestral languages of the members of St. James. You can watch a video compliation of some of these below.
