The Easter proclamation of the risen Lord almost always resounds twice in the springtime — one Sunday for Orthodox Christians, and another for the non-Orthodox. This year, however, by a coincidence of the calendar, all of the faithful will celebrate on Sunday. The Rev. Dimitrios Antokas, 53, is the presiding priest at Bethesda’s St. George Greek Orthodox Church, and the president of the D.C. area’s Orthodox clergy association where he speaks on behalf of his colleagues of many traditions: Greek, Syrian, Antiochan, Russian, Romanian and more. Father Antokas sat down with the Washington Examiner to share his ancient faith, and why it remains relevant on Easter Sunday 2010.

Do you consider yourself to be of a specific faith?
