Many American churches, including All Saints Lutheran Church, have resurrected an old Easter custom begun by the Greeks in the early centuries of Christianity - “Holy Humor Sunday” celebrations of Jesus’ resurrection on the Sunday after Easter. The custom was rooted in the musings of early church theologians (like Augustine, Gregory of Nyssa, and John Chrysostom) that God played a practical joke on the devil by raising Jesus from the dead… “Risus paschalis - the Easter laugh!” Today, our church service is a mixture of tradition and frivolity, a time for celebration and humor where we hear about Thomas. We’re glad you are here!

Scripture Reading: John 20:19-31, 1 Corinthians 12:12-31
