Christ the Lord Is Risen Again (MW 01) COLLECTION

Alleluia! Proclaim a “Happy Easter” to family and friends with these splendid vintage-style items--pillar candles, house and garden flags, and greeting cards--that blend handsome typography and floral ornament with a large, prominent cross. The items feature texts consisting of the first verse of a popular Easter hymn, “Christ the Lord Is Risen Again”. The original hymn was composed in German by Michael Weiss (d. 1540), a Silesian pastor of the Bohemian Brethren and a contemporary of Martin Luther. The translation of the lyrics into English was produced by Catherine Winkworth (1827-1878), a well-known translator of German hymns and compiler of biographies of German hymn authors. Although Winkworth’s translations are often tweaked to conform to more modern phrasing, nevertheless, they continue to appear in modern English-language hymnals today. + Items are available with a yellow, green, blue, or red border.
