The '''Paschal greeting''' is a custom among Orthodox Christians, consisting of a greeting and response. Instead of "hello" or its equivalent, one is to greet another person with "Christ is Risen!" . The response is "Truly, He is risen!" (or "Indeed, He is risen!"). This greeting is used during liturgical services and informally at other times, starting with the [[feast]] of [[Pascha]] and lasting until [[Ascension]], – the period known as the ''Paschal season'' or ''Paschaltide''.

In practice, this custom greeting is usually restricted in use typically used only with people that one already knows are Orthodox. In some cultures (e.g., for example in Russia), it was also customary to exchange a triple kiss after the greeting. It is not uncommon for Orthodox Christians to often compile lists of the greeting in various languages, as it is used around the world, and these are sometimes recited in church or in other formal settings as an act of Orthodox unity across languages and cultures.
