It is ??????? ?????? (Hristos Anesti - Christ is risen) for me, and I listen to it not only at Easter time, but whenever I need to lift my spirits. It is the song of all songs to me, and now I don't know which one used to be that before I heard Divna's voice. It gives me strength, it gives me faith, it gives me everything I need and not only when things are rough. You can find solace and rejoice in it, because it is powerful. She truly is a messenger from God and He could not have chosen a more genuine one.

Xristos Anesth ek nekron Anesti
Thanato thanato patisas
Kai tis en ths mnimasi tis
Zoh xarisamenos Zoi
Christ is risen from the dead
With death has crushed death
And to those lying in graves
Has given the gift of life.
The language is old Greek as in most of the Orthodox Byzantine hymns. The singer is Serbian, the song is Orthodox.
