Nonne, Satane, nos esse tuus putavisti?
Sed Christus venit.
Nos tuis catenis liberavit,
Et in Caelo in aeternum regnat.
Vade! Christus est Victor.
Semper vincit; tu numquam eris.
Hic victoria Crucis est.

You thought we were yours, didn’t you, Satan?
But Christ came.
He freed us from your chains,
And He reigns in Heaven forever.
Go! Christ is the Victor.
He always wins; you never will.
This is the victory of the Cross.
Glad you provided a Latin translation for those who might not be fortunate enough to understand English…(joke, joke!) 😉
Very nice job, Emerald! It must be a nice feeling to be able write an Easter poem in the ancient language of the Church! Love the gutsiness of telling Satan to take a hike! 😉
