"Jesus Christ Is Risen Today" by The Jubilate Singers Originally titled "Hymn for Easter Day," this song was written by Charles Wesley in 1739.

On a warm and windy Easter Sunday at the Vatican, Pope Francis proclaimed: “Jesus Christ is risen! He alone has the power to roll away the stones that block the path to life.

He, the living One, is himself that path. He is the Way.” “Only the Risen Christ, by granting us the forgiveness of our sins, opens the way for a renewed world,” the Pope added.
