moscow-lokomoFans greeted each other on Easter at a Sunday evening soccer match at Moscow Lokomotiv stadium.
At the beginning of the second half of the match thousands of fans of Dynamo team started chanting "Khristos voskrese!" which translates into English, "Christ is Risen!", an Interfax correspondent reports. Thousands of fans of Lokomotiv team on the opposite side of the stadium responded by chanting "Truly He is Risen!"
The exchange took place several times.
The correspondent who has attended soccer matches for almost 50 years says it was the occurrence of this kind in the history of Russian soccer.

Finally some perspective on the whole issue! It may be that God is cleaning house but certainly Pope Benedict XVI is the right man for the right time.

It is great to see the Holy Spirit moving young men to give of themselves for the kingdom. It is an inspiration for me in my hum-drum day in Scarborough to do more.
