A little info on “Kristos Tense’a Em’mutan” (Christ Is Risen From the Dead)
During the Easter occasion we recite a small proclamation known as “Kristos Tense’a Em’mutan.” It begins with a Keshi (Priest) followed by a response by the faithful. The Keshi stands in front of the alter holding the Qewami Meskel and begins with the following:
Kristos Tensea Em'mutan ----------- Christ is risen from the dead!...
Be’abye Haile Wuseltan -------------- By the highest power and authority!
Asero Lesaitan ------------------------- He chained “Satan”!
Agazo Le’adam ------------------------ Freed Adam!
Selam ---------------------------------- Peace!
Em’ye’eziese -------------------------- Henceforth!
Kone ------------------------------------ Prevail!
Feseha Wuselam -------------------- Joy and Peace!
I hope the above will be helpful.
